About the Item

Metallic Color Magnetic Continuum. Moon Gold. Gold 22-karat gold leaf and acrylic on linen with oil patina. 106 x 122 x 8 cm The carefully researched colour palette, the strict lines, the clear contours, the balanced, elegant precision, the optical effect and the strong energy emanating from Pablo Griss's paintings are the key elements magnetically attracting the viewer to them. His work is direct, without concessions to useless anecdotes, and straightforwardly hits the point where human consciousness meets the subconscious. It projects the viewer into a kind of parallel universe where the complete acceptance of the interconnectedness of everything is evident, accepted and manifested. The tones can be loud, bright, various, following the tradition of his Venezuelan predecessors; or discreet, sober, mono or bi-chromatic, as a contemporary resumption of the aesthetic sense of minimalist compositions such as “The Mariage Of Reason And Squalor” by Frank Stella or Yves Klein’s Blu Monochromes. The use of chiaroscuro or vanishing points, favorite tricks used to create the illusions in Opt-art, are abandoned to the advantage of concrete forms and colors alternation, evoking the sensation of multidimensionality, in which the artist proposes other planes, not understood as physical planes, but rather as a transition to other realities. The brush strokes are steady and firm, as the physical manifestation of a strong and yet sensible will, able to translate onto canvas the common language of the whole universe: energy. It is quite evident that Pablo Griss does not have as a goal to merely play with geometric constructions, but rather create concrete and iconic pieces that irradiate the universal energy and its possible power to transform. On the other hand, magnetic fields, radiation, resonance, currents, and electromagnetic waves, and their philosophical and psychological implications are surely phenomena that deeply influenced Pablo Griss’s existence, from his Engineering and Applied Science studies at Columbia University to the way he sees and interprets the life and human interactions selves. Precisely, in his paintings, these phenomena manifest not as diagrammatic illustrative, scientific reproduction, but as a minimalistic synthetic interpretation of their humanistic facets.
