BETWEEN BLACK, WHITE AND GREYNESS, A SELF-PORTRAIT OF A TOXIC MAN EMERGING FROM THE SHADOWS. THIS WORK SEEMS BANAL. NOT VERY INVENTIVE COMPARED TO PICASSO’S MASTERPIECES. THIS WORK IS LIKE AN ATTEMPT AT A PSYCHOLOGICAL SELF-PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST. WE CAN SEE THE DARK SIDE OF THE TOXIC MAN. HE’S ALONE, ISOLATED. IN THE DARK, A CLOSE-UP TAKES UP THE ENTIRE PICTORIAL SPACE. ITS HEAD APPEARS DISPROPORTIONATE TO ITS NECK. WE SEE AN EGO ON THAT SAME SCALE. A SUCCESSION OF BRUSHSTROKES, OVERLOADED WITH PAINT, CREATE A FACE THAT LOSES ITSELF IN ITS MATERIALITY. IT’S A MATTER OF URGENCY. MAN DISSOLVES INTO HIS OWN FIGURATION. WE WITNESS A NON-IDEALISTIC REPRESENTATION OF THE GREAT MASTER. A DICHOTOMOUS REPRESENTATION THAT IS BOTH VIOLENT AND ALMOST CHILDLIKE. THE FACE IS STRUCTURED BY A DUALISTIC GAZE, WITH ONE EYE OPEN AND THE OTHER BLACK, AS IN ONE OF THE DRAWINGS IN DORA MAAR’S PRIVATE COLLECTION. PICASSO REPRESENTS IN “LA CÉLESTINE”. CARLOTTA VALDIVIA. BROTHEL KEEPER, WITH AN OPEN EYE EXPRESSING POWER AND AN EYE VEILED BY A PILLOWCASE SYMBOLIZING TROUBLE. THE INNER EYE. ALL IN BLACK. WHITE AND GRISAILLE, TOUCHES OF OCHRE AND RED, COLORS REMINISCENT OF BODILY FLUIDS, ENERGIZE THE COMPOSITION OF BLOOD, EARTH AND EXCREMENT. THE ARTIST SEEMS TO VOMIT HIMSELF. HERE IS THE MAN’S ENTANGLED WORK BEHIND THE ARTIST’S PAINTING. ORLAN Show More

ENTRE NEGRO, BLANCO Y GRIS, AUTORRETRATO DE UN HOMBRE-TOXICO QUE EMERGE DE LAS SOMBRAS. ESTA OBRA PARECE BANAL, POCO INVENTIVA EN COMPARACIÓN CON LAS OBRAS MAESTRAS DE PICASSO. ES COMO UN INTENTO DE AUTORRETRATO PSICOLÓGICO DEL ARTISTA. EN ELLA SE PUEDE VER EL LADO SOMBRIO DEL HOMBRE TÓXICO. ESTA SOLO, AISLADO. EN LA OSCURIDAD, UN PRIMER PLANO OCUPA TODO EL ESPACIO PICTÓRICO. SU CABEZA PARECE DESPROPORCIONADA CON RESPECTO A SU CUELLO. VEMOS UN EGO A LA MISMA ESCALA. UNA SUCESIÓN DE PINCELADAS SOBRECARGADAS DE PINTURA, DIBUJAN ESTE ROSTRO QUE SE PERDDE EN SU MATERIALIDAD. SE INSCRIBE EN LA EMERGENCIA. EL HOMBRE SE DISUELVE EN SU PROPIA FIGURACIÓN. ASISTIMOS A UNA REPRESENTACIÓN NO IDEALISTA DEL GRAN MAESTRO, UNA REPRESENTACIÓN DICOTÓMICA A LA VEZ VIOLENTA Y CASI INFANTIL. UNA MIRADA DUALISTA ESTRUCTURA EL ROSTRO; SOLO UN OJO ESTÁ ABIERTO, EL OTRO ES NEGRO, COMO PUNZABA DORA MAAR EN UNO DE LOS DIBUJOS DE SU COLECCIÓN PRIVADA, EN “LA CELESTINA”. PICASSO REPRESENTS A CARLOTTA VALDIVIA, DUEÑA DE UN BURDEL. CON UN OJO ABIERTO, QUE EXPRESA EL PODER, Y OTRO VELADO POR UNA FUNDA DE ALMOHADA, QUE SIMBOLIZA LA CONFUSIÓN, LA MIRADA INTERIOR. TODO EN BLANCO, NEGRO Y GRIS. TOQUES DE OCRE Y ROJO, COLORES QUE RECUERDAN LOS FLUIDOS CORPORALES. TRIVIALIZAN LA COMPOSICIÓN DE SANGRE. TIERRA Y EXCREMENTOS. EL ARTISTA PARECE VOMITARSE A SI MISMO. HE AQUÍ LA OBRA ENREDADA DEL HOMBRE DETRÁS DE LA PINTURA DEL ARTISTA ORLAN Show More
