“El Gallo Crisis”

2012

The design and coordination of this mural was executed by José Aledo. The students of Orihuela’s Tháder secondary education high school took part in its creation. José Aledo is a painter from Orihuela as described by Doctor Manuel García Pérez: for decades, the works of painter Pepe Aledo have been characterised by a dreamlike treatment which moves between literary references and an unprecedented devotion for surrealism. The author evokes in this painting the cover of the Catholic literary magazine “El Gallo Crisis: libertad y tiranía”, directed by Ramón Sijé. In it, there was always a red rooster. Poet Miguel Hernández wrote regularly in this journal between 1934 and 1935.
