Hello Héctor, somes times it’s more difficult to express with words your sensations and emotions about an art piece than to do it with technicisms.Thanks for adding your preferences and thoughts. Best regards. Antonio Basso

Hello Antonio!

I am not a painting expert, otherwise I would comment every post you publish.

But this one is different, it’s about your work.

I cannot talk about techniques, praxis, textures, aesthetics or similar. But I can talk about wich one of these works inspires me.

My favourites are Occupancy 4 and 16. The first because I love the way orange suits with the blues. It’s a nice sensation.

The second one remind me the quietness of my neighbourhood in midnight. A sensation of calm and peace.

They are really wonderful. I’m not just being polite. Congratulations!

No se porqué…..el espacio n 15 me sugiere un “diván”. Me gusta mucho ver que los “nudos” evolucionan. Texturas y colores muy transformados. Me gusta mucho su forma de hacer “hablar” a los colores. Buen Verano y felicidades por su “terquedad” vocacional!!!. Un abrazo. Silvia T

Impresionante trabajo, Antonio. Me encanta ver el trabajo previo y el resultado final. Además, gracias a tus explicaciones, cobra todo mucho más sentido. Apetece tocar cada uno de los cuadros por la textura y los millones de colores que tienen. Parecen vivos. Me encantan. Síguenos explicando tu proceso creativo. Muchos ánimos y felicidades.

Hello Xavier,

thanks again for sharing your interesting thoughts. From your comments I was thinking about the following. Imagine a building viewed from the air (bird eyes). Now take the different planes of the bulding (walls, ceiling, floor …), and decompose them putting one over the other…. It makes sense, doesn´t it?

Time is important ´cose my paintings represent a given ephemeral moment in time. It´s like many architectural pictures I have shared in previous posts. Each one was made in a given moment, so in a way they interrupt time. They pause it. It´s thanks to time that the image exists, though it is ephemeral. It won´t exist any more (but thanks to photography we can capture that past moment)

Thanks again and let me tell you that I have to revise Cezzane´s theories to understand them better. Thanks for including them here.

Hello Glennie, your are absulutely right with Diebenkorn. Besides him, there´s another Spanish “master” named Manuel Millares. From him I take the use of organic fabrics (in my case organic cotton and burlap) that I incorporate to help me in the canvas. How to fushion both arts?.

The way Morandi integrates and sees what he paints, is simply trasncendent.

Thanks for commenting.

Regards.

Morandi, who I love, is exactly who I thought of – the playing with positive and negative space, the tensions between the ‘edges’ of things. (Also Diebenkorn?)
Really liking this work, Antonio.

Hello Antonio
I just asked to know if your interested point was related to the ideas of cubist artist. Their dinamics points of view around one shape made them experience another type of solution for their canvas.
Do you think your work is somehow related to the theories of Cezanne about spaces and shapes ?(when he was doing his “exercises” with an orange behind a bottle and he painted the orange like if the momento behind the bottle didn’t exist, like if he could “cut the time” for a second and then keep going, I mean painting what he knows and not what he sees).
Do you think “time” is an important aspect in your work?
Thanks
Xavier
