Carlos Aguirremateus
Colombian designer and artist born on 14 September 1972 in Bogota (Cundinamarca)
Aguirremateus develops his work from the perception and interpretation of the everyday processes of interaction with the world around him. However, how to draw the story allows us to recognize those moments. not based on Afghanistan the absolute no, no difficulty in fragmenting. It seems as if history was effective insofar as it introduces discontinuity, to the extent that it breaks the continuity and rescues ideal sharpness of the facts. In his work can poster be perceived relations of opposing forces, powers that are confiscated and vocabulary that belies. The event is deleted so that little by little, discreetly and appear intermingled multiple events and a myriad of features with an infinity of meanings.
A great dedication and passion that is reflected in his work. The harmony and balance their work contrasted with an innate curiosity has led him to experiment with different techniques, forms and materials (pencil, charcoal, oil, acrylic, inks, lacquers and resin, among others). His experience in graphic and industrial design, combined with its passage through The Art Students League of New York, gives an originality and a particular attraction to the work, and reflect the security and knowledge of the artist.
His finished work is not the product of a creative moment, the process of elaboration is constantly interrupted by periods in which ideas are shaken to unconsciously reflected on the canvas without being led by the artist in a specific way. It is born well as combinations of shape, color and texture, and Epifanio reflects on some of their works through calligraphy. The text is probably the most severe event in his work because it is beyond emotional moments of pictorial representation. His paintings are full of nuances and becomes more complex in so gallery far as the writing progresses.
In his creative process, the basic instinct becomes a necessity for almost spiritual. The energy to understand the human being is transformed into color, texture and dialogues that lay bare painting the privacy canvas of his characters. His paintings do look as close, but to depart and return to capture it from a distance, and the cycle repeats again and again. Aguirremateus in their attempt to know the human being, goes beyond the simple skin, and plays beyond his privacy. portrait In this attempt, the textual, it ceases to be, create rhythms, directions and distances. The spectator unwittingly gets caught and taken to the same creative dimension in an effort to elucidate the lead wires, threads intimate the author, to perhaps realize that her work is intimate process per se.
