In this series of paintings, gathered under the title Melancholia, the semantic intentions of Pomet have, in this case, a marked course. Although Pomet admits that “the melancholic feeling constitutes a strictly personal and non-transferable experience,” the works gathered in this exhibition treasure the aspiration (“chimerical, in any case,” the artist admits) of provoking in the spectator that sensation of fear before the abyss that the German romantics called The Sublime, that nostalgia the Portuguese and Brazilians call Saudade, and that feeling that in ancient and pre-modern medicine they called Melancholia. About the artist: Born in 1970, Granada, Spain. Lives and works in Granada, Spain.
