”Lines and curves. Tangencies. They are touched and they are kissed. Great dance of simple visual elements. Stick-grate and round. Erectile black and weak lines wheels of bicycle. Rods of cast iron personified. Painted gnawed wheels to the oil. Curves and more curves. Inexhaustible orgy of primary colors that they dance chaotically and explosively with secondary ones. Deliveries continued of rolling figures in the form of visible old toys that should never fall in childish hands. Oxidized canoes that not even the more dared of the pirates dares to pilot. Aerobiplains that will never fly. Oozing canvases of acrylic one, coffee, oil, coal, watercolor, waxes, cake, chalks and blood oranges. Seem handlebars, pedals, scooters, radii, propellers, mainmasts and smaller (not few smoke), coffee pots, plugs, industrial faucets, blackandequers, corkscrew, power saws, trolleys of the Carrefour supermarket, graters, tractors without field to plough and motorcycles of when Edison, and more.
It is the dictatorship of the ordered driping of paint chaotically thrown on canvases. It is the hell of the foundry and the welding of the iron at more than 1000 centigrade degrees. Afterwards a creamy and moisturizing hand of chromatic circle and the waiting comes.
And now I leave. They wait for me for a canvas and an iron of 1968.”
Martín
