CATALOG 2010 (works from January to July, 2010)
Ignacio Alperin Bruvera Artist
Review of Ignacio's work from ART‐MINE.com:
Improvisation and rhythm courses through the paintings of Argentine painter Ignacio Alperin Bruvera. Fascinated by jazz, he tailors his visual language to the inventive and spontaneous methods of musicians. In Alperin's paintings we find spectacular lines spiraling or ripping across the canvas, framed by vigorous colors applied in his characteristic, painterly brushwork. These solid, powerful forms are paired with thin, sinewy lines that seem to slink toward the edge of the composition. Alperin has constructed his own language to speak to audiences, as, divorced from overt representation, he crafts this brawny abstraction to spur our imaginations and quicken our hearts. Audiences may feel a sense of peering through everyday reality, into an ageless realization, a connection to all that surrounds us. This is because Alperin works less from a proven technique than from his own spirit, allowing the painting to develop on its own. “In a painting, resolution is vital,” he explains. “It gives meaning, substance and sense to what the artist proposes.”

Ignacio Alperin Bruvera Artist From an interview prior to the ¨Masters of the Imagination” Exhibition : Music on canvas The "visual jazz" paintings of an Argentine artist in an annual exhibition of Latin American Art in New York
Artist Ignacio Alperin Bruvera (www.ignacioalperin.com), whose art has been described by some critics as "visual jazz", will be taking part in the now traditional annual Latin American art exhibition "Masters of the Imagination", organized by Agora Gallery in New York City for over a decade now. In relation to his art and the invitation to participate in the exhibition, Alperin Bruvera said: "It's an honor to have the opportunity to present my work and receive recognition in one of the world’s great art capitals, a city that I love and one which also has such a deeply rooted relationship with jazz". Fascinated by this genre, Alperin constructs his visual language using methods based on classical concepts, but full of creative inventiveness and spontaneous improvisation that reminds more of the work of musicians than that of classical visual artists. In his paintings, we come across dramatic lines, spiraling or ripping across the canvas, many times giving the impression of stretching beyond the surface, and framed by vigorous colors applied in his characteristic brushwork. Thus he has built his own language, full of movement and nuances, with which he creates points of contact with the viewers, generating a dialogue which is mostly divorced from figurative representation, but built on a visceral form of abstraction that stimulates the imagination and ignites their hearts.

Tracing a parallel to what happens with great jazz, Alperin encourages his viewers to leave the unilateral relationship which very often characterizes the art experience, inviting them to step into the “stage” and become emotionally involved to the point of making each painting their own, thus transcending everyday reality and immersing them into a process with no defined time or space, towards a more universal vision of everything that surrounds them.
"Over the years I have developed my own visual method as a combination of traditional painting techniques and a large dose of improvisation crafted in the style of the great musicians of that genre. Precisely, it is in the United States where my art has been conceptualized by some as "visual jazz", a term that I like and that, somehow, I share due to the musicality of my work and the movement that I impress on it" said the artist.
