Lo bueno y lo malo en la abstraccion artistica – The Good and the Bad of Abstract Art

(Foto propiedad de FBC/Derechos Reservados/Image property of FBC/All Rights Reserved)

La abstracción…ah, la abstracción en el arte…cosa que casi todo el mundo confunde, pero para que no seáis vosotros los que lo hagáis, os recordare que la abstracción son aquellos cuadros que no tienen figuración alguna y que la composición aunque debe ser bien elaborada y relacionada a una referencia interna del pintor…no debe parecerse a nada en nuestro mundo natural. Se utilizan los colores y las formas geométricas para crear un cuadro que puede, o no, simbolizar muchas cosas para el que lo observe.

(2022)

Abstract Art…oh abstract art!…it is still a form that many people confuse, but so that you won’t be one of them, I will remind you that Abstract Art is that art form that utilises absolutely no figuration, that should be created based upon an internal reference of the artist (in other words not just splashing, dripping or rubbing paint on canvas) and whose composition should not resemble anything in the natural world. Colours are used for their intensity and meaning as well as geometric forms. Abstract Art attempts to create in the observer a visual communication and it may or may not remind the observer of many things, or nothing at all…

Pero lo vamos a celebrar algo diferente a lo usual, con este disco, tributo a The Beatles que contiene algunas de las canciones mas populares de la banda tocada por bandas que molan, pero que son muy diferentes a The Beatles.

Ojalá os guste…

We’re going to celebrate this day a little differently than usual. We’re going to play this tribute record to The Beatles (from 2006). It has some great Beatles songs done by some cool groups that are so different from The Beatles.

I hope y’all like it now…

Gracas…

Dear Diary, page 2

(All Rights Reserved)

Today an old friend arrived in town and you know that when you get a visitor from out of town who has never visited your city you kind of become a tour guide. It’s fun, you get to see things that you’ve taken for granted, you get to perhaps get to know your city a little better. But you also have to walk through crowded tourist places. You get to bump into sightseers. You have to linger behind those who don’t know where they are going and are so fascinated with all they see that you cannot even walk by them. Oh, the joys of guiding tourists…

But then I came home, started reading a book, which I have to say I started over a month ago and barely reached chapter five… I started thinking about the way things change, the ways the city that you are accustomed to begins to become a strange and foreign place… All things change, all things «evolve», and I use the term not to align myself with Darwin, whom I do not believe, but to sort of describe how things begin to get better slowly and piece by piece…

I tend to look very carefully at my surroundings all the time. People say that when I am with them my eyes are everywhere and they wonder if I am listening to them. I am, they can be quite sure of that, but I learned to be hypervigilant and I still am… I also do something that a lot of people hardly ever do, which is to look up. I look up at the roofs of buildings, and we’ve a lot of very interesting rooftops in my town, and I also look at the sky, which is on of my favourite places to observe…

I also tend to write a lot. Actually, I think of myself as a poet that paints, that writes music and that also writes poetry. But please do not misunderstand me because although I have done many other things in my life…I am pretty old…one of the things that I have done is acquire a formal art education and the first thing that I learned is that art is always, and every time, something contrived, not something spontaneous, not something intuitive… So, that means that everything I write is everything that I have put through my filter, my craft, and then made to appear as a finished artistic representation of life. In other words, it is all fiction…

All the best…
