Arte para sentarse // Art to sit on

Banco del arte

Hola querido hiver.

Esta publicación ve la luz dos años y medio después de que fuera ideada. No sabía de la existencia de esta colección de bancos pintados hasta que leí esta publicación de @mipiano, ¡y están en mi propia ciudad! Si curioseas en los comentarios de ese post verás que ya entonces le dije que los visitaría en un día soleado para ver la diferencia. Y así llegamos hasta hoy. 😂

Banco de la Zaragoza moderna

Banco de la gastronomía aragonesa

Banco de la jota

Banco de la huerta Zaragozana

Los bancos fueron pintados en 2022 y 2023 con motivo de la celebración del Festival Zaragoza Florece. Los diseños y su realización estuvieron a cargo de alumnos de la Escuela de Arte de Zaragoza y el proyecto se llamó "Bancos de color". En algunos de ellos se distingue el nombre su artista y te recomiendo que vayas a ver sus cuentas de Instagram. Así me he enterado de que he visto obras posteriores de algunos de ellos.

Banco de los cabezudos

Banco del Pilar

Banco de Goya

Banco del cine aragonés

El deterioro que el paso del tiempo y sus inclemencias ha dejado en ellos es palpable y me dio pena que no se hayan repintado para mantener los diseños. Aunque quizás en un futuro una nueva hornada de alumnos de arte tenga la oportunidad de mostrarnos sus talentos con una iniciativa similar.

Banco del Ebro

Banco de Zaragoza renacentista

Banco del amor

Banco del deporte

Banco de la tolerancia

Junto a cada banco hay una placa que anuncia su nombre y también aparece el de las empresas que patrocinaron el proyecto.

Banco de la diversidad

Banco de la igualdad

Banco de la alegría

Banco de la gastronomía

En la edición de 2022 los bancos que se pintaron eran los que ocupan el Paseo de los Bearneses y los temas son en su mayoría conceptos abstractos como el amor, la solidaridad, la alegría...

Banco de la moda

Banco del respeto

Banco de la educación

Banco de la naturaleza

El año siguiente, en 2023, se ocuparon de los bancos que están en la zona posterior al Jardín Botánico. Esta vez sus temas se centran en aspectos relacionados con Zaragoza y Aragón.

Banco de la amistad

Banco de la solidaridad

Banco de la ciencia

Banco de la paz

Banco de la sostenibilidad

Este post forma parte de la iniciativa mensual de Hive Collectors, por lo que te invito a que salgas con tu cámara y nos enseñes los lugares de descanso que haya a tu alrededor, son todos bienvenidos. Aquí tienes el enlace al post de la convocatoria.

Banco de los niños

Banco de las personas mayores

Hasta la próxima publicación. Mientras tanto, ¡cuídate!

Art bench

English

Hi, dear hiver.

This post is finally seeing the light of day two and a half years after it was first conceived. I didn’t know this collection of painted benches existed until I read this post by @mipiano – and they’re in my own city! If you have a look at the comments on that post, you’ll see that even back then I told them I’d visit them on a sunny day to see the difference. And that brings us to today. 😂

Modern Zaragoza bench

Aragonese gastronomy bench

Jota (traditional dance) bench

Zaragoza orchard bench

The benches were painted in 2022 and 2023 to mark the Zaragoza Florece Festival. The designs and their execution were carried out by students from the Zaragoza School of Art, and the project was called ‘Colourful Benches’. On some of them, you can make out the artist’s name, and I recommend you check out their Instagram accounts. That’s how I found out that I’d seen later works by some of them.

Big-Headed Figures bench

Pillar bench

Goya bench

Aragonese cinema bench

The wear and tear caused by the passage of time and the elements is clearly visible, and I was saddened that they haven’t been repainted to preserve the designs. Although perhaps in the future a new cohort of art students will have the opportunity to showcase their talents through a similar initiative.

Ebro bench

Renaissance Zaragoza bench

Love bench

Sports bench

Tolerance bench

Next to each bench is a plaque bearing its name, as well as the names of the companies that sponsored the project.

Diversity bench

Equality bench

Joy bench

Gastronomy bench

In the 2022 edition, the benches that were painted were those along the Paseo de los Bearneses, and the themes were mostly abstract concepts such as love, solidarity and joy...

Fashion bench

Respect bench

Education bench

Nature bench

The following year, in 2023, they worked on the benches located behind the Botanical Gardens. This time, their designs focused on themes related to Zaragoza and Aragon.

Friendship bench

Solidarity bench

Science bench

Peace bench

Sustainability bench

This post is part of the Hive Collectors’ monthly initiative, so I invite you to head out with your camera and show us the resting spots around you – everyone is welcome to take part. Here’s the link to the call for entries.

Children’s bench

Bench for older people (Elders bench)

Until the next post. In the meantime, take care!

Están bien bonitos, para sentarse un buen rato a tomar aire
@caroscope(54)· 35d
What a beautiful art work and collections.
@chinito(73)· 35d
very very cool benches! yes, i am tempted a lot. :P
@mhe(67)· 35d
Wow what a nice colorful it's unique color that can inspire to look or see like this🤗
@wongi(73)· 36d
These are such beautiful and vibrant looking chairs. Just seeing the colours make me happy, I can only imagine how I'd feel if I sit on them.

We have something similar to this in my city but the chairs are all painted with single colours. No extra designs on them. However, the walls surrounding the chairs have amazing designs.

Here is an example.
@pinero(65)· 36d
Una magnífica idea la de los estudiantes! Y que bueno que les permitieron llevarla a cabo!
@mipiano(81)· 36d
Los bancos de Zaragoza llegaron 🥰 I am happy to see your post and these benches again, as if I was walking there again. I won't choose a favorite as I like them all but you are right, maybe some new paint would come in handy but without changing their design Gracias Paloma y un gran abrazo!!

Buenas noches Paloma, ¡¡vaya colección de bancos!! Estoy impresionado... Zaragoza es una ciudad sorprendente. Una pena la falta de mantenimiento, aunque la colección sigue siendo maravillosa.

De todos los bancos, me quedo con el de los mayores. Un banco con cojines, es un señor banco.

Muchas gracias. ¡¡Feliz noche!!

Good evening, Paloma! What a collection of benches! I'm impressed... Zaragoza is an amazing city. It's a shame about the lack of maintenance, although the collection is still wonderful.

Of all the benches, I'd choose the one for the elderly. A bench with cushions—that's a proper bench.

Thank you so much. Have a good night!

Saludos @palomap3 Gracias por tanta belleza multiplicada, por la poesía del color y el alma de tu cordialidad. Acá seguimos deleitándonos y admirandote. 🌻
@felixmarranz(71)· 36d
Una colección espectacular, digna de un museo.

Eso sí, lo primero que pensé es tocar el banco con cuidado, antes de sentarme, no sea que esté recién pintado.

Feliz y hermoso día.
@sahar3dawn(54)· 36d

Cada día me enamoro mas de Zaragoza desde la distancia, sueño con ir pronto.

pd: nada que ver con el post pero si con Zaragoza, has escuchado hablar de Juanjo Bona?
@arribaeltelon(67)· 36d
Que bonito, el tiempo pasa pero aún mantiene ese espíritu festivo.
@jlufer(81)· 36d
Buen día, querida amiga @palomap3.

Qué preciosa colección de bancos nos presentas; honestamente, nunca antes había visto algo igual. Qué genial idea decorar los bancos de la calle con preciosas obras de arte; me encantó el banco Goya, el respeto y la diversidad, aunque tengo que decir que todos son preciosos.

Que tengas un gran día.

Good morning, dear friend @palomap3.

What a beautiful collection of benches you've shared with us; honestly, I've never seen anything like it before. What a brilliant idea to decorate street benches with beautiful works of art; I especially loved the Goya bench, the respect and diversity, although I have to say they're all gorgeous.

Have a wonderful day.
