like dogs;I haven't played with them, they haven't sat with me on any sofa, but I can say, without fear of insult or blasphemy, that they smell like dogs, that they smell like mountains, that they smell like savannah and hair and a wet dog.Mosseri's paintings do not smell of turpentine, but offer the smell of the countryside and the rain: the smell of her own farm in Guasca.But the exhibition that she presents at La Casita (Calle 86 nº 27-85) is more than just an encounter with nature;it is a vital and emotional reunion with painting.Mosseri has been a professor of painting at the Universidad de los Andes;she knows, like few people, the secrets of the technique and its history.She can spend hours talking about canvases, oils, stretchers, acrylics or gouache and another couple of hours about the miracles of color.And she, as a good painter, loves the wonders of the Impressionists, the vigor of Van Gogh, the delicacy of Hockney and, in Colombia, the immortal landscapes of the Savannah School.Finally painting and landscape are an indissoluble marriage;Centuries of centuries can pass, and the trees and the horizon will always be in a painting.(Also read: Steve Carell, between comedy and drama).It is the same image with different palettes: blue, red, green and ocher yellows.Courtesy of the artistIn the dining room of her father's house there are four small works by one of her illustrious representatives: Roberto Páramo.And, in the last decade, his own pictorial goals had landscape as background.Mosseri painted her two daughters wearing swamp boots to exhaustion on her farm.The painting of her witnessed how they grew up and became teenagers.Recently they 'left' the paintings, leaving the landscape bare and, in the tangle, were his two cavalier king charles spanier dogs with their imposing patches of brown on white fur.And that's where this series was born.The exhibitions at La Casita, rigorously curated by Camilo Chico, always propose a dialogue with a painting.In this case, the visual conversation was with another representative of the Escuela de la Sabana: Eugenio Peña.It is a savanna landscape that has green and ocher as absolute protagonists.And the paintings that open the exhibition have that palette: they are his dogs lost in the green.(It may interest you: Pablo Picasso made a portrait of Adolf Hitler?).And, at that point, Mosseri achieved the miracle of going further, because the exhibition is a reflection on color and its possibilities.About beauty, abstraction and figuration.The same motive led him to other colors: the same painting with different palettes.The same triptych is repeated in blue, red and yellow, "without the dogs they would be abstract paintings, but I wasn't interested, I needed to show reality, an individual," says Mosseri."Color suggests other things: times of day, moods...".Next to each triptych are the color studies.Courtesy of the artistIn a further room are prints of his studies on the iPad.And, on one side of each triptych, they appear like a pantone or an abstract work, the color studies to reach the exact point of the painting's vibration.And that is what gives the exhibition its name: Newton's disk.(Also: Miguel Ángel Rojas: art, cocaine, environment and a king addicted to white powder).La Casita also has an exhibition of Freda Sargent, one of the great artists of all time in Colombia.It is a beautiful collection of her recent work.“Freda has become my mentor,” says Mosseri, “she hardly ever leaves her house and the greatest honor for me was that, on the opening day, she insisted on going out and seeing my paintings at night: because all the painting has to do with light.And she wanted to see them in artificial light.”'The Humans': 'We all have problems with this film'1,000
