ADRIAN NAVARRO – RED SPACE
2013-09-16Navarro plays with transforming the perception of the spectator, generating an intense and dramatic ambience. Red in all its variants, from scarlet to carmine, passing through cadmium and alizarin, reflects the protagonism of the colour and discovers for us sensations “which only painting can provoke through colour understood as a source of radiant energy” according to the artist. The expression of colour as a malleable pictorial substance is appreciated through loose brushstrokes, spontaneous and rhythmic tracings running across the canvas.
Rhythm, like colour, is fundamental in the work of Adrián Navarro. In a certain way, the surface of the picture hides from us the complexity of the tension between the interior, corporal and gestural rhythm, and the exterior rhythm, rigorous in its repetition. This duality expresses a hybrid space, a reflection of the human mind, where rational conscience co-exists with intuition.
