comments

t he imaginary environment which surrounds the artist in different places around the world, gives him the motivation to create other aesthetic disciplines for the truth of the art, Hernan Illescas tries to

make the viewer mentally regress to a time or bygone era.

The vision of the spectator back over an event in a certain time becau-se the human being mind is very fragile to bring the retained reminder and kept in the memory.

The artwork memory is developed and shaped on canvas where it na-rrates the personal experiences of the artist with signs and symbols found throughout history forming a whole in which the past is contem-plated and the future is planned through us who are the present.

Why the artworks are hanging in those spaces? It is the support itself as a container for the reporting walls, to compose a whole of what we are and feel, what we believe and imagine seek to back into the human being.

Lands, Bodies and Legends, Evil Waves Around the World, Migration, Changing Circles, Waste discharge the crime into the sea, Sovereignty of Desire, Unleash the Seas, I gave toy to know my fragility, We were Barricades are some of the titles used for Hernan Illescas where he an-nounces the evolution of man, the mad cow disease, the global war-ming, the environment, the holocaust and so on. They are all topic on which the artist transpires contemporariness into his perception and sensitivity, connections and notices in a past, present and future pe-riod, recovering and using the artist memory’s reflections.

t he ink work demonstrates the mastery of drawing, and the unfi-nished lines, the usual signatures of this artist: iconic fish, children playing, faces flowing from the nature of dreams, and tangles of

lines that descend from the horror vacui universe where they meet and merge consciousness and sensation. He controls the direction of the brush well and especially the pressure on the support.

The choice of paper is a key, and allows ink to flow, creating lively tex-tures of patience and creativity.

The Artist dominates the technic, knowing that the light color of the background is the maximum light as discovered when amalgams centripetally the power of the image around the geometric center of the sheet. The audacity of the shadows in the inks, is an outstanding highlight featured in his work.

g lobal warming is linked to climate change, pollution and the main result, the “greenhouse effect”, with consequences that are in the “collective imagination” and that are expressed in

“the fishes” serie. Hernán Illescas, sensitive to this subjects for many years represents this theme in his work. In the work of Hernán, survi-ving in the dark magma is the aim, whose ultimate challenge focuses on the need to “leave” a greener planet for our children and descen-dants. The artist has locked species that had to leave their habitats in three small planets that survive as remnants of the flora and fauna that seeks to keep alive. We need oxygen and strength to breathe and live.

Dr. José Carlos AriasArt Historian and Curator

t he aesthetic disciplines and their contemporary methods are a deeply enriching evolution for plastic concepts. In this regard, I look for a doctrine of identity in art theory, visualized through symbo-

lism and iconographic contents.

t he search for truth in art and the expression of symbols are the phats I use to generate my artwork. The imagined environment that surrounds me in different places around the word gives me the

motivation to create my projects. I have walked though long roads whit my art, finding bifurcations, facing mythical beings´chants, surviving ancestral calls fron a given time, facing the sphinx and recognizing that there are no answers in fron of her, but only new questions.

Some answers rest in my paintings, are reflected and can be physically perceptible. They only open the door to a maze of new questions, and these questions are revealed when you look at the paintings.

Hernán IllescasArtist

t he search for the truth about art, or the expression of symbol as the road is useful to ask ourselves about the work of Illescas. Far from being a newcomer, Illescas has walked through the world of pain-

ting traveling long roads, finding bifurcations, facing mermaid chants, surviving ancestral calls; for in a given moment, face the Sphinx and recognize that in front of her there are no answers, only new questions.

We get to know his answers in the paintings where they are there em-bodied, physically displayable. They only open the doors to a Labyrinth of new questions, questions to be known and that we will try to look at.
