Poetry & Performance LONDONThe giant’s eye controls my movements.Each human body reveals its conditionbeneath an orange aura that envelops melike the aroma of coffee emanating from pubs.People crowd into a cornerto watch the queen weep.They feel no sadness:their lives unfold elsewhere.Not so for Innocent X,who tears himself to shreds.BookIN THE BODY OF PAINTINGSBy Juan Tardivo Poetry Reading Performance by Juan Tardivo London Eye, UK – 2026 Languages: Spanish and English Published by @crisinternationalch Poem: London by Juan Tardivo| Page 33In the Body of Painting unfolds as an immersive journey in which Juan Tardivo transforms artistic creation into lived experience. This book proposes a passage through color, matter, and the city, where the body ceases to be a boundary and becomes a sensitive surface — a territory of tension, memory, and transformation. Each section traces an intimate cartography of states, descents, and geographies, revealing a language in which painting and writing converge as a single gesture. Words operate here as a brush: they build, unsettle, erase, and begin again. From our editorial perspective, this work stands as a distinctive artistic statement, where image and text engage in a coherent and compelling dialogue. In the Body of Painting does not merely represent artistic experience — it inhabits and embodies it.
