Artist Statement:
Alex Perez works in two fields, the Realistic and the Abstract-Symbolic.
In this gallery I show my Abstract and Symbolic paintings this serie a call: "THE BEAUTY OF THE MYTH" works created in Mixed Media, oils, acrylics, sand, color powder polymers, steel, marble, wood, on canvas.
Throughout the space of the canvas I've created rich and complex textures of various character, opaque, dense, and rugged with tones that are both delicate and natural. These textures override, in comparison, their backgrounds which are of a soft, transparent, brilliant and colorful character.
The general impression of the constructions resembles Iconos, at times Altars or platforms of an ancient cult.
In each work exists a complex construction, which accentuates and sharpens the sensation of the viewer stand in front of a sacred tablet or an altar "tableau" or an artefact of a pagan cult of abstract character, in which is found a mixture of the ancient and the future.
The colorship is reserved and earthy. In some accents I use ornamental elements that break the harshness and somberness of the compositions. As my work progresses in its course, I find myself more and more occupied in the studies of archeology, anthropology and physics as they relate to artistic expression. In the series "THE BEAUTY OF THE MYTH" I have concentrated most on graphic expressions of religion, rites, cults and myths.
The final result of all my impressions of these studies and investigations expresses itself in the construction of a concept of Simbolic and abstract character, in which I neither use or repeat identities, symbols or graphic expressions either Mythic or Religious, known or identifiable. These 'results' or 'final works', are only a game of possibilities and personal 'translations' over the "aesthetics of the myth" and, without wanting to, I see myself ' realizing' or 'working the matter' in a ritual all its own and from this form comes a new, changing and variable space.
The aesthetic that accompanies the Ritual, the Myth, the Fettish and the Religions....is eternal and its beauty is of simple forms, in the basic meaning of the word.
