Azul is a project with which the Guillermina Caicoya gallery continues to focus on young values ​​with which it risks and hits. Morgan Bancon performs works with character at a time when the banalization of the arts at ease, it is admirable to find artists who continue to bet on painting, traditional techniques and to show clearly a theoretical and practical background that proceeds from his deep knowledge of the great masters of the Museums. The artistic references have been key in their formation, the flow of the avant-garde, surrealism and metaphysical painting are also here to convert landscapes and still lifes into a new figuration of spectral appearance. There is in his paintings a fading of the concrete that worries us by trapping us; an organic base remains that has been transmuted into something indescribable and unreadable, reminding us of the works of the late forties of Arshile Gorky in his transit between figuration and abstraction.
The small format works contain the charm and freshness of the sketch, concentrate their beauty on the flow of the graphics and the lightness of the stain, as opposed to the thickness and solidity of the larger compositions in which time seems to stop, is in these works where he shows his love for the simplicity of things and his connection with "the telluric", approaching plastic budgets of artists of great roots here as Alberto a special, different creator, both are able to capture an instant and retain it in a sober modeling, of transforming the everyday into a unique experience, of living nature deeply to the point of making us feel its aroma.Santiago Martínez for LaEscena.
