"You can regard these paintings as a download, in every sense of the word I can think of." From its very title, download, José Piñar (Granada, 1967) invites the close of the exhibition so that these days displayed in the gallery Lola Orato Oviedo. The first senses that occur to the viewer have to do, of course, the most common meanings of the word, so that from the beginning, tends to regard the outbreak Piñar controlled paint room out in the Dark Street plastic as the testimony of some release or waiver, of a decision-also alleviates any sense of the word some kind of load. But there is much less common meanings to those that can directly target these downloads of Granada painter. For example, this form of Cuban music is a bewildering live improvisation and made popular musicians like Cachao. And even a meaning again that the Asturian-particularly of Cangas del Narcea, know very well: the simultaneous firing, festive and overwhelming, a good number of fireworks.

Download has a lot of these last two meanings, in the noblest sense of improvisatory or the fireworks: one domain shows a dazzling and colorful instrument is known by heart, and a joyous spectacular light and color obtained through the release of certain energies. For those who know the history of Piñar-one of the most English exponents of the personal relevance of painting as a fully contemporary language, "the individual will probably Lola Orato as a sort of compendium of what has been done in previous exhibitions, and at the time as well as a brash personal entertainment, however, no viewer's eyes lost none of its power and eloquence.
Perhaps the best example of this are the leaflets that transpose the format found in the same lightness and fluidity of small watercolor in which they are based, and in which the look can be found in both with a real roller coaster tracks and winding as vigorous and stable structures, funds black lines crossed by pristine white or colored pools sometimes floating like liquid or gaseous masses on -landscapes-places that deserve the name itself as such.
In short, the painting of José Piñar in Download contains and arouses all their unmistakeable features: technical skill in controlling the color and brightness, drawing on a large scale and the vagaries of the spot; the coexistence of the highly personal constructed with the gesture, the rigorous composition, overlapping planes and wealth of the transparencies, the game translation of the codes of the digital image in any of formats, the venerable paint codes no longer purely painting at any time ... But all this served on this occasion by an execution, or that is the impression that airs on the final effect, in which improvisation prevails over the control and in which as in the greats of jazz and Cuban discharge what is perceived is a direct invitation to enjoy surround both the artist and the recipient of his art. And, for the first, it marks a development of the first order for their skills and their instruments.
