Jaime Sunico is an artist that works with portrait painting. In these portraits are presented solemn faces of anonymous people in a uniform format that generates tensions and correspondences.The portrait is a traditional theme in the history of art, but Súnico focuses  from a risky conceptual perspective. Close-ups of faces are characterized by the use of saturated colors and a distinct material of the compositions. This riot of color and volume provides sculptural bas-relief profile to works. Thus, the paint manifests an explicit sensuality contrast to the harshness with which  Súnico treats the sitters.

From the 2 March 2011, the Centre Pompidou will show a one-man show of Jean-Michel Othoniel’s work from the beginnings of his career in 1987 to the present day.
In collaboration with the artist, the Centre Pompidou will offer a retrospective of his plastic work entitled My Way. Composed of an ensemble of 24 hitherto unseen works, the exhibition traces his career from the first, confidential, intimate and poetic works and then leads the visitor to discoverhis monumental works of spectacular dimensions which dazzle and fire the imagination.
