Porteños’ fileteado has a tribute at ENIARTE
This meeting was born in 1997, as an exhibition directed to valorize decorative art and has hosted prestigious artists from decorative painting, both locals and foreigners. This year, ENIARTE tributes porteños’ filete and tango, with the presence of two maestros: fileteador Jorge Muscia (author of Eniarte 2008’s poster) and Alberto Bono.
Muscia will offer a workshop for beginners in “filete porteño”
Alberto Bono was born in Rosario, Jan 9, 1943. Since his youth, he worked several artistic disciplines, such as music, theater and panting. At 14, he debuted as musician, and later, he met maestro Luchina at the Teatro Nacional de Buenos Aires. This prestigious painter leaded him into the world of painting. Thus, he specialized in fileteado and became an artist nurtured in all the aspects, full of sensibility and tango spirit.
The historical building of Palacio San Miguel, in its 2000 square meters, is occuppied by stands of workshops where teachers paint and share classes, showing theirs works and their pupils’.
Eniarte has been the first exhibition that comprises all the disciplines of decorative art: decorative painting, faux finish, trompe loeil, stained glass, French art, ceramics, painted porcelain, painted cloth, cartapesta, cold porcelain, etc.
