Exhibition José Diaz - The Goma Gallery
I leave you the translation of the article I was reading... (maybe there will be some mistakes, hope not; but I also leave you the link to the spanish article:
""Let's go deeper into the woods", says one of the verses of the Spiritual Canticle of Juan de la Cruz; Jose Diaz has chosen a line of Gómez de la Serna (Moco staircase, enjundia chicken, green frog juice) to entitle his first exhibition in the Madrid gallery The Goma.
The shows confronts us with a human-sized canvases (more than one and a half by one and a half) where the paint has been driven by a severe stroke and erosinante, painting while scraping: paint brutally spread (worth the poet's words) in a sort of action that reveals karst substrates that support it. The work of decrypting or Geologist against the painted canvas.
The painting of José Díaz (Madrid, 1981) becomes confused, not as failure but as a symptom of specificity of our day. Leaf room (very confusing too) reminds us of the captchaps, that annoying computer resource which has replaced empathy test in an effort to detect replicants encoded by a photograph in which a non-human eyes can not distinguish background figure: an aesthetic trick to distinguish souled beings without it. As seen, we have not made much progress in our concerns from the high Middle Ages.
But beyond these considerations, the work of the Madrid painter offers surround us, mysterious, attractive as it is a game of veils. Of super-heavy veils that produce crawl gullies, but veils the end of the day. A perturbation to the game that custom makes us see figures that are not there, and if that goes from your account stresses: No enigma where there is no solution, simply drift."
