Work

"... Effectively, the feeling that is experienced in front of
her artwork is that of a microscopic vision of the universe,
where the nucleus, like agglutinating elements of all that
beats, or better still; around which stirs, determine that odd
but exact stardom ritual, that not because it is unknown is
inexistent or with its possibilities imagined.
But in this active universe, energetic, it would not be possible
to admit from her work, in the truth of art, if it were not made
on a basis of drawing and color that are effectively artistic.
We are referring to Mirta Cidra's drawings whom, after
participating in diverse collective exhibitions and after going
through the new national schools of Fine Arts, holds an
individual exhibition at the Rodolfo Cascales Art Gallery."

Three are the destinations that Mirta Cidra imposes to her color
drawings in this new series that is presented at the Angelus art
gallery: Center, Woof and Expansion. Effectively, the content of
her work is oriented to thrust
those movements or reactions of those shapes, something like a
woof of molecules of combined action toward a rhythmic totality,
as an inevitable spring of beauty.
Not in vain does she place before her work guiding concepts such
as the centers that attract, that irradiate; energy centers that
generate matter that is woven to all in an Absolute Unity ?.
Conscious of that representative responsibility, her artwork is
made with the scrupulous precision of someone who is searching
within the mystery of the Universe -like this, with capital
letters- in its continuing INDIVAGAS, generated like a branch
that nurtures the subsistence of her own entrails. Such is the
origin of her geometric rigor and the imposition of color that
responds to the marvelous order of nature."

Exhibition of Drawings by Mirta Cidra
Nucleus, woof, expansion and a game of cosmic energy
By Martha Rocha
With Mirta Cidra's drawings we participate in a game of cosmic
energy. We feel by intuition the molecular movement and the
attraction of the atoms. It makes us think that contemporary
science nothing is passive, and even less so, in an essentially
energetic universe.
This is the theme concept of Mirta Cidra's artwork, supported by
a sound technique of design and harmonic cromatism. Colors and
light emphasize points of attraction that are determined by
compositive balance and generate circular bodies and transparent
geometric woofs that concentrate and divert.
Such is the way we feel her work. A total cosmic harmony,
represented with creative imagination and deep technical
resources.

When the spreading of geometric art arrived at an assimilation
of lineal severity as a principle and end of its values, it
appeared to close a chapter that had not been totally explored
to its last consequences. But at that time, new expressions
begun to appear, and with that basis attempted to obtain a
freedom that would allow them to explore in more promising areas
to pictoric creation. We probably cannot theoretically frame the
pieces that Mirta Cidra presents at the Manzana de las Luces
-Perú 272- but we can affirm that this type of work is a scream
of freedom in front of the severity imposed by the orientation
of that school.
Mirta Cidra well arrived to expressions that at times are filled
with virtuosity, and allow us to confront a truly original
personality and a procedure that belong to her and therefore
identifiy her.
Exhibition of Drawing and Collage
by Mirta Cidra
At the Manzana de las Luces, Buenos Aires

Mirta Cidra identifies herself with star worlds through drawings
and collage that transmit the harmony of the stars in perfect
balance.
In the complex network of lines that glimmers the beauty and
serenity of the unchangeable laws that rule the mysteries of the
Universe.
The rich composition of this artist is only limited by
rationalism that does not know of concessions and transmits to
the audience a beautiful sense of peace."

Transpersonal Art: Making visible the invisible
To look is to address our attention outside. But to look Mirta
Cidra's work is an invitation to see inside. Or to stay in the
ambiguity of being between the inside and the outside. Or simply
jumping into another dimension where there is no inside and
outside. It deals with a metaphysical level.
That is the origin of the name Transpersonal Art: an Art that
goes beyond the self, the ego and the personality, that opens us
to possibilities of perception and conception of the universal
order.
From an artistic point of view, her work shows flawless
virtuosity, where all elements of art get together in harmony:
composition, rhythm, color, within a dance of lines, levels,
proportions, and a chromatic scale of great precision and
exquisiteness that reaches the audience directly with no need to
lye on erudition; perhaps because this Transpersonal Art touches
the woven invisible of which all things are made, including
ourselves, the intimacy of the Fall, the structure of the
Cosmos, the human mind.
With her wide artistic background and an extensive list of
prizes obtained with her work, Mirta Cidra also spends her time
with the students of the four different schools in Buenos Aires,
where she teaches to use the keys to get inside the internal
world where art is born.
Her drawings are shown at the Transpersonal Center of Buenos
Aires, Salguero 1452, Capital. The exhibition can be attended
free, from Monday to Saturdays from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. For
the love of Art.

Xxx of the National
Commission of the Manzana de las Luces
As presentation in the Exhibition of Mirta Cidra's drawings
At the Manzana de las Luces
José Mauroner Hall
Buenos Aires, April 3 through April 15, 1997.
Mirta Cidra's name is linked to the good memories of the
beginnings of the National Commission of the Manzana de las
Luces. It was back in 197, when M.C. together with Susana
Serafini and Piasentini integrated the "Group of the Universal"
and made one of her first exhibitions at this gallery showing
her profile as an excellent drawer. This concept was confirmed
at other exhibitions and at the current one itself, where M.C.
stays loyal to the rational spirit in an intelligent game of
line and color. Mastering linear drawing gives her a total
freedom of creation.
On the other hand, her work shows a experimental and playful
spirit where it is difficult to differentiate the shape in the
background from the pencil in the collage.
Sensitive titles give name to geometry that is linked to musical
chords and scientific fields.
M.C. prefers to name the talent that she is gifted with as "transpersonal
art" that, according to her concepts, is a vital and Superior
energy that penetrates the self, the reveals the essential and
inspires. She considers her work a bridge between a Divine
command and men.
