Is the surreal movement in force today? Emerged in Paris in the 1920s seeking to explore the subconscious, dreams and imagination, already a little more than 100 years of Manifest of André Bretoncontinue challenging the traditional notions of reality.
So attests Renata Juncadella (1999) In its current exhibition entitled “What cuts is a shortcut”curatorship of Sasha Minovichcuratorial text of Nancy Rojasand although some argue that surrealism ended with the death of Breton In 1966, called by his contemporaries “The Black Pope of Surrealism and Great Inquisitor of the Arts”, is really a timeless movement given the age of the artist.
As a theoretical basis, the interpretation of the dreams of Freud and breaks with all conventions. You can also qualify to Juncadella’s work as self -referential since he tells us that he lost a finger as a result of an accident with a horse.
This, white, can be in a forest, sitting next to a table, mutilation, always present. Therefore, you cannot stop thinking about a hand to Raquel Forner in his works of the consequences of the war or Frida Kahloso associated with pain.
Upon entering the gallery there is a steel tree from which branches leave, it passes to the room through an unfinished wall with bricks in sight and then find paintings of different sizes, one of them, advances on the room in the manner of a triptych to which you have to stop for a long time to enter the images. A, disturbing whole, which could be qualified as an installation. There are female characters with three arms, other medieval used dresses, a woman with wings trying to enter or leave a cage, half horse, half women, eyes perched on a kind of staircase.
In the surreal way, images generate astonishment, confusion, reflection. Challenges the deepest logic and thoughts of the mind. The expression “surrealism” was first used by Apollinaire in 1917, a group of artists appear, for example, ARP, Ernst, Man Ray, Klee, De Chirico, Miró, Picassoto those who joined Dalí, Magritte and so many others. According to Apollinairethe surrealist transcends all borders, hence its deployment in Latin America, especially Mexico where the English arrived Leonora Carrington and the Spanish Varo remedies.
The work of Juncadella It requires being decoded by its complexity that responds to the definition of Breton: “Everything leads to believe that there is a certain point of the spirit where life and death, the real and the imaginary, the past and the future, the communicable and the incommunicable, the high and low, cease to be perceived contradictoryly …”
In our conversation with the artist, he comments that a season will soon spend in Mexico. It is attributed to Salvador Dalí The phrase “Mexico is a surreal country and I can’t stand to be in a more surreal country than my paintings.”
