JOSE MARIA VELASCO Y YO NO TENEMOS NADA EN COMÚN

La Estación — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 20:09:25 +0000

Written and chromatic dissection of 35 relevant spaces of a large-format painting by José María Velasco. Small fragments or sections of a painting by the Mexican painter that move to the written language to create an immediate memory of the image left by Velasco, as well as an abstract landscape from the words and their corresponding color within the painting. The exhibition seeks to preserve and expand the idea of landscape painting. It is well known that Velasco was one of the greatest representatives of Mexican realism and landscaping. «Create landscapes from their landscapes”

20 years has passed since I moved overseas. Currently, I live and work in the USA among a plethora of different cultures. The United States is a nation of immigrants. Especially where I live in Los Angeles, there are a lot of Mexican people. When I worked as a waitress at a Japanese restaurant, I was surprised to discover that most of the kitchen staff was Mexican. My Mexican co-workers worked very hard until late hours every day. There are many people from other countries as well. The thing I like most about the United States is that it feels like a place where people from the entire world is helping build the nation. Every country has its own characteristics, cultures and laws. Although we live under “American” rules, we also have the “rules” of our countries of origin. You can call them “rules” or you can just call them customs. Because of this, things you considered obvious are easily contradicted, and you become aware of the fact that there is no such thing as a “correct” way of thinking. This comforts me. 

Even if you don’t understand another culture or religion, everyone just accepts this by saying, “Well, I guess it’s okay that I don’t get it.” I am comforted that there exists as many worlds as there are people regardless of nation, religion, or gender. Although the USA is disliked by many people across the world, and the current President is especially problematic, I feel as an immigrant from Japan that it’s not a bad thing to look for the good things in a positive manner.  

Even the art you see is from artists from many different countries. It’s great. 

I think people might think my work is “ridiculous”. My body of work lacks uniformity. I make work based on spontaneous ideas depending on what interests me at a given moment, or something I read in a book or manga. I sometimes don’t remember why I made something. I express my surroundings and environment through the process of creation. There is nothing I want to say or declare. 

A word I like in Buddhist philosophy is “Kuu” (Emptiness). Many things in the world do not have a fixed shape or form. The fact that you think there is such thing as a “self” is just an illusion. Such a thing never existed.

I think the same can be said about art. It’s like saying, “Please, come have a look!” when there is nothing inside. 

If anything, the thing I want to do is work hard at making ridiculous things, and express the fact that it’s okay if you don’t understand what you don’t understand. There are no correct answers, and thoughts and opinions, like the wind, continuously wander in the air.

QUENTIN TARANTINO VOL.2

La Estación — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 16:49:04 +0000

The Discovery of that which moves you through the world of painting is a constant search… I use vibrant colors in contrast with intensely dark and detailed backgrounds, even if they are out of focus. My work is based on portraits, I like them to be realistic but without them losing my stroke. And for this to generate a visual impact. 

I´ve always enjoyed motion pictures and this tribute to the work of Quentin Tarantino speaks loads of it. Taking scenes of movies considered as cult mainly within pop culture into paintings and observing how the spectator recognizes that scene and even remembers part of the dialogue and makes it part of the composition is very gratifying. 

Images are carefully selected to achieve a moment of pause within the expression of the character. A never-ending scene for the spectator.

DEIDAD Y CATARSIS

La Estación — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 14:51:45 +0000

As Miguel Valverde says: “The mask is the spirit´s skin”; in that sense, we all cover up our essence with a suit, a body, with attitudes, with our defining personality and attitudes, with a case. However, there are moments in which we rid ourselves of everything in order to peek out and let our true self be seen, our deity, an open flower, a prickly pear with all of its thorns, a moment of ecstasy where we are our greatest expression, catharsis, a volcano’s explosion, genuine faces, a venting of emotions, adrenaline, a gasp which reminds us that we don’t need to think about breathing in order to keep us alive, its enough being authentic; and it precisely this authenticity one of the characteristics that defines Valverde´s work, who breaks away from the world at the moment of creation and comes and goes, comes back and goes away again, and as a result, delivers unto us a connection with what he sees, his tastes and likings, his relationship with the divine and the mundane, the joy of feeling, the freedom which he transmits to us within his open and precise wing like strokes, brushstrokes that like arms encompass and embrace for a moment the amplified vision of this great contemporary artist for who everything is prone of becoming a source of inspiration, thrusting unto us from the ropes both sides of the same coin: on one side transparent gestures of the spectators and on the other, as a center piece, a face that is hidden behind a veil of “Nopalucho”, which at the same time blends two other aspects that at first sight are not connected, nevertheless, they meet within Miguel´s passions: the desser landscapes and lucha libre. 

You are invited to enjoy this exposition with the jubilation and undertone of detachment given by the so called “art of the pancracio”, in addition, with the opportunity of reaching a sublime state of joy while regarding ART, yes capitalized, the ART represented here in the work of my dear friend and colleague who I admire deeply, Miguel Valverde. 

Congratulations for sharing with us yet another success.
