TIME : THE WORKS OF JCRISANTO MARTINEZ





TIME

Time is a sinuous medium to be maneuvered similarly as paint. My art delves into the continuum of time. I assemble images by looking closely at them in a historical facet. I seek out for surfaces that mirror the passage of time. Fashioning the parallels in paint is a course of discovery as I allow the unprompted strata of paint to dictate the direction of each piece. By layering the images I incorporate undertones and meanings that summon a response by the viewer. By looking at the past and responding intuitively I explore the future by applying knowledge of the present. I employ intense rich color to communicate my enthusiasm over the process of creativity. I reinterpret the everyday from the past and present to generate new significance.




Through life I collect memoirs and impart my emotional response through the use of textural surfaces, real and implied. My art is a continuum. It is an identical manifestation of who I am. Without it I would cease to exist. It is a fervent and forceful reason to live. It is the exhilaration of not knowing what new image will materialize that drives me. The sensation of life and the inevitable passing of time are suggested through a knowing manipulation of time-forgotten images as well as through masterful use of traditional contemporary media. Each day is a gift. I paint and hope someone else gets my message.


Ricco Renzo Galleries puts on view a three-person exhibit entitled “EKZENA” which opens on May 22, 2009. Revolving around the perception of “scenes,” the mind-set of Zen and the concepts of lyrical abstraction, the title has inference to a philosophy where art is presented in a style that combines maximum of technique and a minimum of planning and deliberation. However, the abstractions presented are not the haphazard approach for art’s sake, but of the manner by which the artwork impacts on the viewer.

“EKZENA,” an abstract art exhibition by the triumvirate of artists namely JCrisanto Martinez, Sio Montera and Javy Villacin suggest all of the things and incidents mentioned above. Each artist presents a personal series of works that tackle chosen themes like time, space, the journey of life, death, wisdom, and the paradoxes of our human condition.

EKZENA will be on view at Ricco Renzo Galleries starting May 22, 2009 at 7pm with an opening cocktail. The exhibit runs until June 11, 2009. The Ricco Renzo Galleries is located at the LRI Design Plaza, 210 Nicanor Garcia St., Bel-Air II, Makati City, Philippines. For inquiry please call 898-2545 or 0927-386-1460, email kbn@riccorenzo.com or visit www.riccorenzo.com. [ARTEPINAS / JCrisanto Martinez / Ritchie Landis Doner Quijano]


Each day appends to and amends my past. My art is who I am.
