EL SALTROPOMORFO

Es la idea imaginativa de una abstracción real y secundaria de un momento linear de forma, de color y de volumen. Comenzando del concepto de un paisaje aislado dentro de un límite verdadero o imaginario de “espacio amorfo” que debido a estar en la luz, genera una imagen de sombra o “imagen espejo” con características opuestas. Dos maneras de permitir a cada uno un paso intermedio a ser un estado de equilibrio, produciendo en cierto modo el “salto” del cuerpo amorfo en sus propias nociones incambiables del tiempo y de los espacios.

THE SALTROPOMORPHOUS

Is the imaginative idea of a sub real abstraction of a linear moment of form, colour and volume; Beginning from the concept of an isolated landscape inside of a real or imaginary boundary of “amorphous space” that because of being in the light, generate a shadow or “mirror image” with opposite properties. Two ways to allow each an intermediate step to be an equilibrium state, and produce in a sense the “jump” of the amorphous body into its own unchangeable notions of time and space(s).

Kevin Sarmiento

Kevin Sarmiento makes his first solo exhibitions playing with ingenuity around the themes of birds, fishes and human figures, carefully searching out theories and titles. He is more a sketcher working with colour than a painter; he works rather crude pen and ink techniques, developing the semiology element and the transfigurative form at the outskirts of sub realism. His work, which is on a small format and using bright colour, reminds one of the magazine illustrations during the thirties and forties published by Laborde. But, without any doubt, Sarmiento is not familiar with the work of the European, practically unknown in our continent and this allows me to be certain of the originality of the young Colombian. (Diners Gallery)
