La obra de Juan Francisco Casas desprende frescura y libertad, nos traslada a un permanente estado de carpe diem y nos acerca al -denominado por el artista- "hedonismo doméstico", el placer cotidiano como fin y fundamento vital. Con su habitual tecnica basada en la tinta azul de boligrafo Bic, los dibujos que integran la muestra, titulada con las palabras biblicas Noli me tangere ofrecen al espectador, ademas un hilo conductor de interes: la reivindicacion de la mujer a partir de la figura de Maria Magdalena.A partir de una profunda investigacion iniciada en 2020, este proyecto expositivo supone un homenaje a las mujeres dedicadas al mundo del arte. En el, la poderosa iconografia de la Magdalena se aleja del papel secundario que ha tenido a lo largo de la historia para representar a mujeres diversas y poderosas, que sostiene las inquietudes, tensiones, esperanzas y angustias de toda la humanidad.
