His new exhibition, “constellations and shipwrecks”, in Zurbarán Gallery, reveals a contemplative palette that turns the back to the requirements of political or technological news.
Boris Groysphilosopher, art critic and media theoretical born in Berlin in 1947, in his book “Become public “ (2014) pointed out that “today the artist is asked to address issues of public interest. Currently, political controversies, social aspirations, gender issues, climate change, including the politicization of art against a purely aesthetic attitude that asks art that is simply beautiful.”
They are not the political controversies that moves the art of Daniel Kaplan (Buenos Aires, 1965), who has chosen to live the idyllic Forest of Peralta Ramos in Mar del Plata, surrounded by nature. Kaplan Through his landscape works he speaks of painting in which there are water lies, fish, water, color, light, autumnal light and those of the four stations. Nothing is static after observing these fragments of nature where there are also low or around water.
We do not know if it paints “Au Plein Air” but we do intuits that you capture intense green, ocher, gray “one is not a painter if you have not painted a gray,” he said Delacroixbut he is able to get into nature as they did Van Gogh, Klee, Cézanne, Monetartists who admire and that we still assume today incite him to paint.
What makes a painter like Daniel Kaplan In the 21st century, in which technology has changed how we work, how we link ourselves, how AI is on everyone’s mouths still without having experienced it, how the art system is changing, it delights, painting those images on which it becomes a kind of comfort in the face of the inconsequence and ignorance that surrounds us daily?
Maybe the answer is in a book of Ricardo Ibarlucea “Why do we need the masterpieces?” : “The masterpieces spread in our daily life because they boast the plot of our life much more than we tend to believe and because, Let But not least, opens an emotional field, the heart is released, sings its emotions.”
“Constellations and shipwrecks”title of his sample, it is exhibited until July 8 in Gallery Zurbarán (Cerrito 1522, from 12 to 20) ..
