I Have A Red Blotchy Face



Dear Readers: Last Thursday

day 7 was inaugurated the exhibition of paintings by Paco Dalmau (Villa Real - 1978) entitled "polyptychs: Family Portraits" in the room from the street piggy bank Bancaja middle 82. Author as stated in the catalog of the exhibition, has academic training.

Although the sample, it provides a sense of order, visually clean and harmony exhibition, linked directly to the invoice for the finished works, (on aspects of the assembly) and the concept of spatial distribution in the room, which allows us to enjoy a pleasant and elegant environment to visit , that is somewhat depleted, when we notice the technical details or craft that have been used in carrying out the same, where we can clearly see some aspects deficiency directly related to the design and color with , which is very worrying case of a figurative work, very close in intent to a photorealistic naturalism. And is that for each language, there a specific mode or manner of conduct. The maturity of an artist can be measured when it is considered and evaluated in an objective, technical and intellectual possibilities for action to create, being aware of both their virtues and their limitations, because a thing is what you want to do , and quite another to what you can do, being aware of it, is a symptom of rigor, maturity and above all honesty, which will be very useful if you want to highlight as an individual within the art world. Thus, formally, when want to make a play, where the proposal of the image lies in a photorealistic fidelity language, the implementation of both the drawing as color, it should be fine and without any formal error, (2 example images) of Otherwise, the result is poor and directly threaten its quality. Another very different thing is that there is a clear intention to recreate, style or distort the object for a particular speech, in which case, these issues would be obscured and would not be analyzed in the same way, which undoubtedly is not the present case. Coupled with this is to say, not only matters how the work is done, but also and perhaps most important today is the speech, idea or concept that seeks to contribute to it.

And in this exhibition is not only the shortcomings of the trade aspects which in my opinion detract from the quality of the sample, as I said before, the idea or concept discourse accompanying a work is an aspect of utmost importance for the interest by, it can wake up in the broad public, and in the case of this exhibition, there is no renewal or iterative idea of \u200b\u200bportraiture. Cantinflesca

How the author uses to explain his proposal in the catalog, speaks of a desire to be one thing, it really is not supported with the result, the arguments of the speech is really confusing, vague and disconnected, and as those others, that somehow relates to the use of fragmentation "grid" of the compositions of the works, something that is simple and we are also particularly unoriginal for using this design has had in the past, by other artists in various stages of art and that unlike Dalmau, they have managed to develop more skill, originality and daring in his submission.

One of the most famous and clear examples in our time where we see the use of the grid as a formal proposal related to the speech of the play, is found in the collage and prints by David Hockney (example image ) in the late 70's and early 80's giving a new thrust of the proposal, thanks to innovative techniques such as paper pulp, polaroid photography, lithographs fractals, photocopying, etc faxed images. Hockney takes as works concerning ancient and modern masters, portraits, self portraits, works on the outlook and the multiplicity of viewing angles. We also find this resource grid in the works of the young Swiss photographer Cornelia Hediger ( sample picture) in its series "Doppelgänger" where the artist alludes to ghostly duality of being a clear example of concept art, or the magnificent and recent works of one of the great masters of American Hyperrealism as Chuck Close ( example image) where in his later works we see how it uses the grid in a sense close to the fragmentation of the pixel in the digital image to achieve an amazing photo realistic effect.

Considering only these three examples (many more) I can say only that the exposure of Paco Dalmau although some complimentary values \u200b\u200bthat I quoted earlier and which could undoubtedly establish itself as a good game, no longer a clear example of the need should always be the operator (belonging this to any branch linked to the image) to study and research on what want to do in art, and especially to what has been done in order to recreate within their means a different approach. The search for the information and analysis that make it serene, makes solid culture as vital and necessary ingredient to measure the professional quality of a creator, since it is very disappointing, considering that the novelty of having " invented the light bulb, then someone comes and tells us that there is already more than 130 years, thanks to a man named Thomas Edison. Until next
