Internal figurations
Elena Vallés
Concha Sampol recognizes that requires order and perfection of the square, that figure in which is contained , "but where I go crazy because then I urge out". 42 prisoners geometry works, but the fugitives through imperfect confinement strokes and bold colors that open a different path outward, static roam the walls of the Espai d' Art Miquela Nicolau, where this Majorcan opened last night with writer and columnist for this newspaper Biel Mesquida.Sampol begins by explaining the title of the show, Geometries of amarades figuracions painting interiors, is this Mallorcan writer, who also wrote the text accompanying the catalog or book artist exhibition, which will run until June 22.
The artist, given to experiment with materials, has used mixed media on rack in almost all these recent works. Eight pieces are paintings on paper. "From the pigment, I like to mix latex, marble dust and even cement, which puts you very matéricos and heavy tables that are made of layers", qualifies Sampol.This series of material paintings refer to the inner landscapes of the artist , sometimes to the grids of the plots of land that Sampol currency every time you fly from Barcelona to Palma resemble: "The aerial view when you fly over the island never ceases to amaze me . whenever I see Mallorca from the sky looks different and I always discover something new".
In some of these works has also used the technique of collage, which coexists with harmonic and relaxing delineations painter itself defines as "classic". Despite this, acknowledge that you have tried printing on canvas a point of destabilization , which presents itself as a necessity and personal leave. "It would be like a pass that would allow me to escape the obsessions –for example my mania for order- that always haunt and horrify me otherwise". Sampol fight against his condition and meticulous perfectionist artist with this kind of paintings that incorporate crooked lines, spots and abrupt changes in the color palette . Painting and drawing artist poses for an outlet to a personality over the years is become secretive and suspicious.
