SAPIENS – SAPIENCIA by dil toro, 2012
SAPIENS – SAPIENCIA La colección.
Quería trabajar con una constante que abrazara toda la obra: SAPIENCIA. Una constante que se repitiese, que estableciera un elemento clave y concreto para abrazar el sentido de ésta. Pero las figuras han preferido trastocar a su antojo, una vez más la dirección de la obra. Presumiblemente les place mucho más, o sospecho les suscita otro tipo de recuerdos que todavía hoy, no soy capaz de comprender. No sé. Pero lo cierto es, que de nuevo, las figuras han vuelto a desfilar por una pasarela carcomida por la estupidez humana. Y de nuevo he sentido la poderosa necesidad de bailar con ellas, y de paso acariciar sus delicadas almas. Así da comienzo esta historia, esta colección.
Proceso de creación.
Durante ése turbulento y mágico baile protagonizado por las figuras, he podido presenciar como tres piezas de dimensiones considerables, se edificaban sin ningún tipo de orden establecido. En principio, ésos tres lienzos y un cuarto que todavía espera, debían de servir como espacio para generar unos bocetos. Un espacio, cuyos resultados mas tarde se pudiesen trasladar a otros planos, a otros formatos. Pero el antojo y descaro de las figuras, así como el de los propios elementos que conforman estas piezas, se han convertido, de una manera inequívoca, en el eje principal sobre el que pivota esta así. El resultado: Tres piezas con sentido propio, individual e intransferible. Pero… Una vez conseguido este resultado inesperado, casual, circunstancial o despedazado a golpes de suspiros por las propias figuras. He decidido descontextualizar su obra y esculpir otro universo gráfico. Ahora es mi turno, y no la propia y caprichosa dirección de las
figuras. Sus universos, domesticados por sus imprevisibles bailes y sobre los que deliran a su antojo, ahora cobran en otro tipo de soporte otro sentido. Pienso, creo haber domesticado sus caprichos. Este segundo resultado es el de doce nuevas piezas que inevitablemente pasan a conformar parte del conjunto de ésta. Con la notable diferencia, que ahora, este proceso creativo es tutelado y supervisado bajo mi dirección. Si bien antes, la palabra SAPIENCIA, había sido discriminada por las propias figuras y sustituida por otra que les placía mucho más. En esta ocasión, inevitablemente imprimo, de una manera casi burlona, una palabra que se acerca en forma y significado a la propia generada por las figuras. Posteriormente he descontextualizado diferentes elementos de una narrativa pictórica que aparece en esos cuatro bocetos preliminares y les he dado otra vida, ahora bailan con otra música... Con esto, he querido ofrecer al espectador, otra perspectiva de un resultado pictórico inicial, otra relación con la obra, desenfrascar otra de las infinitas lecturas que cualquier obra es capaz de atesorar y ofrecer parte de una infinidad de posibilidades que pueden llegar a suscitar dicersos elementos pictóricos descontextualizados caprichosamente. Una vez tras otra y tras otra. Esto es SAPIENS SAPIENCIA
SAPIENS – SAPIENCIA The Collection.
I had originally wanted to work with a certain constant that could be found to be the embracing factor throughout the entirety of this work: SAPIENCIA. A constant that repeats itself, and by doing so is able to thus establish a concrete and key element to embrace the entire essence. But the figures themselves have preferred to take on a meaning of their own, and once again move the direction of the work at their own will. Presumably they take on to mean much more, or as suspected from underneath they bring up other types of memories that to this day I am still not able to fully comprehend. All I know is that the truth is, that once again, the figures of my work have returned to parade up and down the catwalk of life as we know it, to ultimately be eaten away by human stupidity. And in their creation, I too have once again felt the strong need to dance by their sides, and caress their delicate souls as we pass by. Such begins this story, this collection.
How it was Created.
Throughout the magical and turbulent dance in which stars these figures, I was able to witness how three pieces of artwork considerably sized, were inevitably able to be built and brought to life without any established order. In theory, these three canvases and a fourth that is still being waited on to be finished, were to serve as a space to generate some sketches. A space, whose results of which could later be transferred to other drafts, to other formats. But the provoking nerve and expressive ways of the figures, as well as the elements themselves that were used to make these pieces, have by some way unmistakably become the main axis on which everything pivots. The result: Three pieces with their own essence, individual and nontransferable. But…
Once this result was obtained so unexpectedly – casual, circumstantial and pulled apart by great lengths from the sighs of its own figures themselves – I decided to de-contextualize the work and sculpt another graphic universe. Now it’s my turn to take control of the work, rather than have the figures define their very own whimsical direction. Their universes, domesticated by their unforeseeable dances and delirious cravings, can now be charged in another type of media with another meaning. I think, I believe I have been able to finally at last tame their whims. The second part of this collection is made up of twelve new pieces that inevitably come to form a part of all of this, keeping in mind the notable difference that NOW this creative process is supervised and monitored under my direction. Beforehand, the word SAPIENCIA, had been discriminated against by the very figures themselves who had substituted it for another that pleased them much more. This time, inevitably seen in print, in an almost mocking way, there is a physical word that comes close in form and meaning to what the figures self-generate themselves. Subsequently, I de-contextualized different elements of a pictorial narrative that appears in the four preliminary sketches and I’ve given them another life, now they dance to a different music… By doing this, I wanted to offer the viewer a different perspective from the initial pictorial result, to be able to have a different relationship with the work, as to really open oneself up to what can be the infinite amount of meanings that can be found from reading deep within works that we treasure and offer us part of an infinite amount of possibilities that various de-contextualized pictorial elements can so capriciously arouse from within us. Time again and again and again. This is SAPIENS – SAPIENCIA English translation by Angelina Ruffatto, Thanks
