write these lines at the conclusion of the piece "machinery" of 44x34 inches made in Miami in mid-2010 although the "conclusion" of my paintings are not final for a while, in fact the finished piece before Zu is on display in Gallery for one day during the launch of my lbro "Tales of my error and tedium" was altered with a few strokes who opened the right eye of one of their characters and this changed the overall look quite the part ... is significant as a look can change everything .. With these two pieces
mature one stroke with a history of two small mazes made and exhibited in 2008 (in Miami and in The Literary Clube do Porto, Portugal, respectively) that touch was gaining prominence in the following work and today I decided to write something about it.
The maze was an issue or item discussed since 2003, the painting helped me if any learning of the technique for even paint since 1995 and am a graduate of sculptures and drawings from 1981 to the canvas I feel a bit self-taught, armed only with a course of doubtful advantage in the first year of studies and discussions with U.S. colleagues and I began to stain fabrics catalyzed by a broken leg which made it impossible for a while I go to The Ceramic League of Miami where he had rented space to model clay had accidentally bought art supplies for the previous day and "color me itch." Inspired initially
friendship with visual artist Lisa, whom I met when he showed his "Garden of Eden" (a maze-cutting system conceptual) in Alpha International Gallery where I was working a few months, my mazes gave thematic coherence my pictorial work but, passed, technically speaking, by different "stages" were initially closed-ended were seen from outside, then I got closer to the interior from above as the character "only way to find" (2003), the there more surreal and more decorative, religious theme, and finally came the two "notes" where he puts his touch, "vanghoniana" as I called initially, these two works were not properly mazes and played the theme "universal" is "Universe "and" Beginning and End "the second exposed as" Life "in Gallery Magenta, Guadaljara of Buga, Colombia as part of the exhibition "Traces and Silences, shared with my wife, these works represent the graphemes of the word OM an Alpha and Omega and the other by way of walls, it gives appearance of walls, the maze fragmetaba rather, a third work style is "The Way" so named to start the trilogy "The Road", "Truth" and "Life" for this exhibition ("The Truth" is an independent work done among the stage of labyrinth)
When I returned to Miami from Colombia after the exhibition "Traces and Silences" I worked in Our Lady of Manhattan "," Tortuous ways " and "In Gold We Trust" sent to Qbava Gallery in New Jersey, these are evidence of my insistence on vanghoniana stroke, but not as free and colorful as the Dutch genius a bit but structures the elements of these mazes way bricks, this had happened in a more elementary since 2003 as well but this time the stroke was longer and overflows to the bottom and also bypasses elements, beyond this point that I'm pretty monochromatic, that I've hardly changed in pieces like " office hours' and a bit on "Blue room" and "A window", the latter two more decorative than desired for me, "Our Lady ..." and "Tourtuous ..." are bastrante gray, then get the yellow (one of my recurring colors) in "In gold ..." and continues "Nothing you'd better" and these were the last maze, there is a transit "Decadence: out of Labyrinth "(a very appropriate title) and" Start the day "in which I maintain the broad brush with white applied over previously put dark colors on the canvas which allows me to be getting back to the front light and brushstrokes are formed ribbons, textures enriquecendo the background.
beginning in 2009 as pictures on canvas feel a great desire, reaching more unity in the work Overall, this is giving only, also I'm feeling more comfortable with the aforementioned brush, pieces of 2009 are "Escapist" (an old issue once I outlined in my "red stage" when I painted "Watermelon smile" and Window 1 and 2), "Tum, tum, who goes there?" derived from previously made drawings and "Door", these pieces I consider a good starting point, it was like go all the page. Two Thousand
ten began with many hesitations, this summer to paint indicted me, I left a little gray parts of 2009 but continued to exploit and use the flat brush increasingly pastel lines to complement or add items transparent appearance, the penultimate picture, exhibited in Gallery Zu came out orange, his characters are cartoons, talk a little bit of isolation, is not a new topic on my: indifference, the unheard, the attempt to say ... and "machinery" I address the issue of life as interconnected machine, daily life and the outside, we see in the media, I return to an issue of sculptures made in 1999 and 2000 in Wheaton (I lived in those years in that area of \u200b\u200bthe capital), in the painting help me to play those tapes that concept woven basket-like brushstrokes on the canvas, so I want to "Profile of June, with his personage sitting alone but could not avoid the connection with everything and so be in that other fabric that I expect from 48x48 inches hanging unfinished for nearly a year which also are the Alpha and the Omega as two constructions apart on two hills, buttocks while a quatrefoil-shooting star across the sky-all mechanism connector.
