Homage to Rembrandt.
Although the
painting floods the canvas,
the layers happen lightly and do not
become aggressive, always leaving a
place for emptiness. In the discourse
of painting, there is no going back, the
brushstroke that is given, stays and
is respected. The lines of the figures
are mixed with this sort of layers of
painting, where everything dialogues
with everything, where nothing comes
first and everything is intermingling.
Kerlegand›s play is fun. It does not
seek the right or the form, but tries to
navigate naturally and naturally.
Nevertheless, eventually the
brushstroke generates something
that connects with the figure, like a
shadow of the face, always with earth,
ocher, green, cerulean, white or gray
colors. The discourse of painting,
with its own language, is so limitless
that in each work there can be up
to 200 figures, besides the faces.
In many of the paintings that form
this series, the sphere appears, a
recurring element in the whole work of
the painter, the sphere is the perfect
form, it begins nowhere and ends
nowhere; Represents the whole. «It
has a certain volume and it is not
known if it is solid or empty,» says the
author. Nature is present in this series
through the fractals and colors. In
Kerlegand›s work, painting represents
the natural, biology, plants, carbon,
life; The face, on the other hand, is the
man, the order, the norm ... The man
who emerges from nature, and tries to
control it, but in the end is absorbed by
it again.
