Painting as antithesis

Painting in the manner of Tono Lorenzo, at the Espacio Roberto Verino

The artist Tono Lorenzo Guisado presents his new exhibition work as a specific project for the Roberto Verino Art Space. Through constant evolution and continuous experimentation, it starts from a classic character of representation of the image as a transit for an incursion that oscillates between the ascetic vocabulary of cubism to the open, molten and diffuse form of introspective character that is transformed into abstract harmony. , marked by the emotional tension of an effervescent and resonant, autonomous, vitalistic and temperamental chromaticism that balances the Cartesian and geometric axis of the structural space and diverts the enclosure and block effect of the segmented forms as a simultaneous dialogue between the bodies and a combination of discontinuous spaces oscillating between the weight of the real and the emotional balance of the subjective.

The creative from Mondari plans the execution of the painting as a total process in the elaboration of the work, from the manual assembly of the frames to the processual marks that, like notches, reveal the regrets, marks and scars that mark the plastic surface. development of the painting, leaving the progress in the work visible in the evidence of the pencil that defines the composition as its subsequent transformations through the painting itself, its reserves as silences, its successes, accidents and rectifications in the different mixed techniques that Applied experimentally, they leave evidence in the anarchic conjunction of materials: oil, crayons, markers, watercolors, spray...
Tono moves his protean gaze through a structuring of the resulting image as space, vibrant and fluid color, structure and an impulsive temperamentality in the torture of the plastic surface, capable of reconciling psychological, historical and intimate points of view with each other through of an externalization of the intimate and an internalization of the landscape with a lucid gaze, capable of dissecting reality, analytical and objective and at the same time, poetic and subjective through the expressive power modeled by the fillings and the interventions on the different supports in which they are he grasps the texture of the kitchen of the painting, broken by the tension generated by the dialogue of the materials. Reconstruction of the erased forms using abstract mixed techniques with planned control of the masses and voids as reserves, metallic echoes and reflections.

Overexposed and contrasted, the geometric volumes flow over a wet floor that blurs with emotional trepidation the known places and synthesized in the unfinished stain as a reflection of the moment recorded in memory. He recreates numerous spatial accidents that allow the viewer to travel, enter and exit, move through the space of the painting, be surprised, find themselves.

Cartography of the landscape crossed by an eminent capacity to capture, interpret and capture light and its effects that evolves to abstraction in effective scenography with strict planning of the construction and deconstruction of the volume as an edged arrangement in the facet of the decomposition of what visible converted into emotional perspectives dissected by a base drawing, uncovered areas, voids like unknowns that obey an extraordinary freedom of creation outside the established canons, with the security of one who bravely assumes the risk, without room for questioning.
A process of investigation and interpretation of the landscape, exterior and interior in the key of subjective dialogue with the environment and the effects that experiences mark on human beings, with attention to the enigma that the everyday and ephemeral contains in the choice of the austere motifs represented. , tools and objects become the main theme, as an objet trouvé with anti-academic calligraphy, trying to avoid excessive narration.

Kálasme constitutes a daring and risky collection, profoundly honest with courageous rebellion. It is a work without concessions to fragile aestheticism, which rebels against docile conformism with a syncretic and synoptic language. He does this through experimentation and destruction of the image through the dialogue between matter and surface with surprising findings. Essential.
