The rational body

Josep Guinovart

This is a proposal that deals with the representation of the human figure in the work of Guinovart, but not in a strict sense of his stage figurative as a stage of the artist but in its broad representational sense of the face and the body; its construction and deconstruction. This narrative looks for Focus attention on works that dematerialize the visible and invisible substance from which we are made to create new meanings.

The dimension of a deconstructed existence is a constant in the work of Guinovart. We can think how it is so present in its history and how it is It is paralleled in its artistic evolution. It is art then for to him a means to create a new soul? Oscar Wilde to The Critic as an Artist (1890) raises this idea and questions the artist's sense as well to reflective observer: "the soul is what art is directed, and the soul can be prisoner of mind, just like the body ». An approach that in this case It becomes strong and is recognized in a form of expression of extreme sensitivity and inventive But what does it mean to fragment? What does it mean to go off and then go back to one everything different What does it mean to see everything from the margin? In his work, in the use of the color, of the textures, in the representation of a part to attribute a new one sense, metonimically it becomes a driving force and a manifestation of coherence confronted between the detail and the universality of things. The exhibition raises a nonlinear discourse on this idea of ā€‹ā€‹deconstruction of the body to protect a specific search of the spiritual from a fraction Conscious material that, at the same time and from an artistic point of view, represents an unconventional point of view or, simply, the adoption of a point of unique and unique vision.
