Lost Lock Combination Lookup
The pure beauty conquers only very laboriously. But once conquered, its presence is so perfect and absolute imposing itself to the senses and mind and makes you forget everything else, including questions about how it was possible to get there and how it is (and will) may persist in a context in which all conspire to destabilize it. Impressions of this kind or some confusingly similar are raised Herminio work, the artist Charity resumed today with his recent work gallery Gema Llamazares, nearly three years after their last individual Gijon in the room.
As is usual with him, these sculptures in which mass geometry and magnetism are exposed in a strict procedure to carry a dialogue that takes place in equilibrium oscillating, trembling on the brink of collapse yet conveys the same sense of permanence, solidity while others, which can transmit, not architecture or a particularly successful piece of sculpture, but realities that exist beyond their physical incarnation, a good metaphor, a mathematical formula, a happy thought.
And it is still striking to see how this almost childlike curiosity for the genesis and how-are-made vanish before the consummation of the work, and even when it has been able to see Herminio engaged in the assembly of each piece, lifting laboriously with the help of two operators, including scaffolding, packaging and parts still inert, yet disabled- each of the detailed engineering that swings on a corner, or sit on the edge vibration on an invisible magnetic bed. At the time the scaffolding is removed, the dishes disappear and the sculptor himself removed, broom in hand, any other impurities that may remain about the piece or acceded to its pristine surface, the work appears as if it appeared there by itself in all its perfection, and there were to be forever.
principles Herminio's work remain the same, he could not be otherwise, in the same way that the principles of physics or mathematics remain unaltered: a quintessential beauty dimensional geometric features put into a state of maximum stress sensitive but , prepared according to strict rules and proportions to vibrate and emit their music as the string of a lyre Pythagorean, at the very edge between stability and instability.
What changes are the elements through which these principles are embodied unchanged. In E pur si muove -Galilean resonances significant title he has chosen for the exhibition-Herminio erected massive and strong pieces that echo three-dimensional fine poems of his last individual sailors in Gijón. More in line with the work that last year he made his landing in the gallery overwhelming Cayón of Madrid and just display in Arco, and more sustained on the game with the triangle, the geometric figure more ambiguous stability, "E pur si muove brings new features like the use of glass, adding planes and depths, and the presence of new colors that enrich the usual palette of white supremacist, black and red: a deep blue a yellow pop introduces a nearly unprecedented recall in Herman, applied with the same painstaking industrial technology that converts lacquered aluminum otherwise; not the synthesis of a material and a metal color-painted and finished with a sophisticated treatment-ceramic glazes, but a kind of new element in chemically pure state, like new in a vein of pure alien.
From there, the exhibition is divided between free-standing sculptures, sometimes on its own mass quartermaster and other gadgets and enigmatic, as totems from another world, with more intimate pieces and collected; horizontal and vertical compositions arranged on the wall by way of relief, series, also on the wall, where the play of light on the sculpture starts shadow drawings, and as drawings are confined in a frame, or portents as the tiny piece of wire fragments connected as small strokes that rotates, rises and collapses on a mirror, not so much a cartoon as something organic, a way of life provided to its unfathomable filiforme tropisms.
And in the center of everything, a mobile in which two slim black bars rotate slowly, facing and approaching, never touching, in a pas de deux that resembles some form of courtship, and generated from the initial stability of the triangles parallel starring much of this exposure. Just like the microscopic views of a fragment of sandstone of a pyramid, a marble or granite classical sculpture of a cathedral chairs reveal its structure and ultimately inexplicable forces that support it, Herminio sculpture is an immersion in three dimensions in the deep nature of beauty shows while questioning the miracle of existence, consistency and durability of a beauty, however, like all things, hanging by a thread: hold supported by anything.
