Dear Readers:
Under the title "Magma Chromaticity was inaugurated on 27 April, the exhibition of the artist Gloria Barredo Churches in the exhibition hall of the cultural center" Castalia Iuris "of our city, which as we know it located in the plaza Cardona Vives, No. 10 (basement).
The sample of undeniable decorative atmosphere in the result, takes refuge in the language of gestural or expressionist abstraction, appropriate on the other hand, to achieve such effects and intentions. Too bad the similarity of repeated treatments I've appreciated in the pictures, I do not think a real breadth of knowledge coach painter, but rather in a trade amateur, based on the simple pleasure and acceptance of basic formulas of representation, where the author has reviewed more the look "pretty" of the result, one that represents what is really valuable and good of the proposal.
color The elementary conception of the works, where it appears a simple relationship of primary colors on light backgrounds of neutral greyish, is something that is usually easily accommodate the untrained eye, I'm almost sure the wrong rate "force "" colorful "," expression "and other topicazos unfounded is a pity that the author has become more complicated in this area with color relationships more complex and interesting. I hope the official critics do not make the same mistake this uncritical public course, but really does not surprise me that there was a match of assessment, because I already know the depth of analysis, "prudence", "honesty" and exquisite diplomacy some knowledgeable specialists who relapse attitude to illustrate that great phrase of Ramón y Cajal when he said ... "if you do not have enemies, because he never told the truth or because he never loved justice, but anyway, back to warm Gloria magma.
Friendly dynamism of the compositions in the tables of Iglesias Barredo, an order based on axial, radial and sometimes hidden in other cases within the plane of representation, the interaction is supported by little worked spot color , which leads me to perceive and accept as possible, a method of creating fun entertainment based on a "game", which is based on a more cases and accidental in the proposal, in that it intends to pursue a higher discursive and interest is guaranteed and subject to more complex reasoning, intellectual and religious content of the work. Hence the final result achieved in the same, but is very nice and "pretty" in its formal aspect, simple, bland and dull in its proposal discourse.
And in this language of abstract painting, where there is already so much road trip with good examples of references that have been spreading all across the world and more than a century existence, there is little room for "new" or even the surprise of new proposals. If you do not really have a good education, a great culture and an extensive knowledge of plastics and technical resources, it is very easy for a painter falls in these flawed and unsubstantiated results, full of smug clichés and formulas that have lost so much repeated the appeal, and also suggesting new language, leaving almost always a result that has more to do with those pictures that are hung in the permanent decorations pizza, pub and neighborhood cafes, and both have come from thrift stores framing. Because being an abstract painter today, it is extremely difficult and complex and it is certainly much more than a fabric stain on a set of primary colors with more or less grace and taste.
must not forget (although I'm not saying this is the case) that is precisely the informality (characterized mainly because of its abstract language), where you can find great examples of pseudo fraud "artists" seeing with intellectual disability and office to carry out its works, assume roles of pathetic "friquismo" trying to justify what is worthless with poses and buzzwords that they themselves understand or know, and I can assure you Castellón is no exception. Here we can find some examples of the "fauna" with specimens that are very folkloric and incredibly recognized. "Artists" that with this attitude of anachronism "highbrow" confused and do great disservice to the serious and professional results displayed in the works of painters such as Kandinsky, Delaunay, Mondrian, Malevich, Pollock, Paul Klee, Mark Rothko, Manuel Viola, Lucio Muñoz and Zao Wou-Ki among many others, who have been able to generate with abstraction, an air of freedom to an end in itself in the creation, as in the universality of art, dignifying their work autonomously an emotionally and plastic, made by painters and to the full enjoyment of painters. Thank goodness for that very reason (and as can happen with any other language), there are always those who can "read" and can tell when we are possibly in the presence of these examples with a clear absence of contributions but even these may come masked in a magma of more or less pleasant colors.
The "beautiful" exhibition of the painter Iglesias Gloria Barredo will remain open until the next day on May 11 hours are used, highly recommend to all your visit, because in spite of opinions, and like everyone we know, in a matter of taste and nothing is written to a "magma color" (although you can recognize low intensity) can be for some, a good example of skill, quality and beauty.
to the next installment. Amaury Suárez
