About
Younger Colombian artista That burst In the scene artistic local and international with a serie proposal plastic, characterized by the use of diferentes techniques like painting, the drawing, installation, performance, video and photography.
Addressing the theme in his works highlights the ambivalent games caused by notion of representation, the game with verisimilitude, fragmentation, suggestion, the daily, as well as the tensión between the character manipulated of the commercial image and the architecture with his fantasies of consume and the concrete act of the paint as exercise critical.
The suggestion... The stroke that reveals with great perfection… fragmentation, the opened in the presentation, but completed in the correct life of what it paints… is that the new seal of the work of Joan Casas.
With the simple evocation of the figurative or architectural, Joan demonstrates his virtuosity in painting, while he leaves us the way open for the imagination. Only a stroke proposes us to continue with the line to form the object.
This suggestion, this sketch of his painting It shows us something of eroticism, sometimes, or just evokes us the animal that prowls, or perhaps it is the space and objects, people, naked and body exhibitions.
Life that goes beyond the concrete or canvas, proposing the suggestive look, the subtle perception of life that begins with a stroke in the picture and ends at will and in the imagination of the spectator.
Overwhelming, Joan now invites us to play what is respresented, the radical mimesis of the object and the picture, but but leaving the unfinished stroke to remind us the abyss between life and art, It reminds us the boundary between one and the other, persuading us of a sensitive activity that convina the poetics of life with the poetic of art.
