The Planets

Oil Painting & Ambient Music Show
Buenos Aires, Argentina - 2018

‘The Planets" is an audio-visual exhibition created by Pampa Louzao in 2017/18 in his home studio in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This project offers a glimpse into outer space while encouraging viewers to explore their own inner creative universe. "The Planets" is Pampa Louzao’s interpretation of the planets in our Solar System, consisting of eight oil on canvas paintings, each accompanied by its own electronic ambient music composition specifically produced for that piece.

The inspiration for the project came from the classical orchestral suite "The Planets, Op. 32," composed by Gustav Holst between 1914 and 1916. The paintings emerged from a blend of two main influences: scientific research and mythology. The scientific research involved studying each planet's physical composition, including characteristics such as movement, density, satellites, and anomalies. Astrological photography provided color palette and texture inspiration for each artwork. On the other hand, Greco-Roman mythology was used to personify each planet, reflecting how ancient civilizations explained life and death through myths closely connected to the planets.

The result is eight paintings with obsessive detail and vibrant color balance. These surrealistic compositions are subtly influenced by abstract figurative aesthetics, and when combined with the music, they transport the viewer into an infinite realm of possibilities and wonders.
