Light forms
«Light is not a thing that can be reproduced, but something that must be represented using something else… Colours»
Paul Cèzanne
If we wanted to describe the Javier Aoiz Orduna artwork with just one word, this would be light. A light that reveals colour. A colour that gives form. A shape marked on the surface.
We are before paintings that above all transmit sensations. The most important thing about an artwork is that it makes us feel something, that in that act of looking and being looked at, an exchange of sensations takes place between the spectator and the artwork. And with Javier’s paintings, the rooms are filled with them.
These sensations are always accompanied by a soft, simple, clear, white atmosphere, but but not without strength or colours. They are pictures that are definitives in their discourse and so clear in their approach that they hypnotize us. They trap us and make our gaze remain fixed and concentrated on them. Surfaces that show us landscapes, still lifes, people… His canvases absorb light to create a series of shapes drawn with colours: it is the magnificent richness of colour, as Cèzanne called it, that makes light form colour-sensations, and these are revealed on the surface of the painting.
