Observation, compilation, indexation, discovery, re-creation. In an oeuvre marked by silent gestures, Fernando Casás (Gondomar, Pontevedra, Spain, 1946) has maintained a constant relationship of curiosity vis-à-vis nature.

La bandera en la cima is the first full presentation of the project that Rafel G. Bianchi began in 2007: painting in a detailed manner the fourteen highest mountains in the world, the fourteen eight-thousanders. A feat that in the world of mountaineering is brimming with heroism and which in is reiteration as an artistic project betrays the role of the artist involved in a absurd trask. In addition to the fourteen final paintings, La bandera…
