Exposicion Museo Picasso(2) - copie.m4v

After La Habana we decide to move to Paris in autumn 2015 where C. offers me the
possibility of holding an exhibition.
In these months Paris changes its colours. The English poet Shelley could only write in the
melancholy of autumn. The greens and blues become transparent and scarlet red floats in
the cadmium yellows. Just like the sunlight, which pierces through objects like thousands of
needles in the Paris autumn.
The represented objects flowers, landscapes, faces, gardens, the sea- are not important.
Only an excuse to paint; an excuse to produce a painting.
MARTN-CALERO

Las flores de Martn-Calero

Delante de las variaciones formales y cromticas de Gonzalo Martn Calero uno se siente
ante una encrucijada filosfica: cual es su modelo formal? Acaso las bachianas Variaciones
Goldberg? No, porque el sistematismo combinatorio es aqu ms sistemtico i libre de obligaciones argumentales. Quiz, antes de continuar, cabria preguntarse: Ha seguido el pintor,
de forma deliberada, un modelo formal reconocible? Porqu Calero no es un practicante de
los repertorios, sino un ser artstico ultraracionalista, liberado de tendencias, de deseos acadmicos, de teoras y de dogmas. l pinta en contacto directo con el noumen, con las fuerzas
primigenias de la naturaleza, organizando con el instinto el intercambio de cargas telricas.
Aun as, voy a apostar por un referente. Ramon Llull, filsofo, mstico, escritor, creador
de modelos de pensamiento y de expresin, entre otras cosas invent en su Ars Magna un
sistema combinatorio para escribir todos los nombres y atributos posibles de Dios, y de
los elementos de la naturaleza en general, como un modo de sistematizar objetivamente el
conocimento. Su influencia es difcil de evaluar: Giordano Bruno, Nicolas de Cusa, Leibniz,
Newton. Las flores de Calero surgen del automatismo sensorial que las produce mltiples e
iguales, diferentes cada cual a las dems, y reiteradas. Quiz una de las influencias de Llull
ms reconocidas y, a la vez y de forma paradjica, menos conocidas y comentadas, la recibi
Juan de Herrera, el arquitecto de El Escorial; l mismo expone en un discurso cmo tom los
principios llullistas para construir el monasterio. Un grandioso edificio de piedra, monumento a la figura cbica, una serie de flores mutantes en color y en posicin de pistilos: el sabio,
incluso el aspirante, ver ah la perfecta disolucin de las diferencias.
