At the little
time of having begun their activities, I had the opportunity
to visit Julio's shop Ruelas in the city of Zacatecas.
My name is the attention the modesty of their facilities,
understandable situation for the little economic support
that this project received from the cultural authorities.
This never made diminish the activity and the enthusiasm
of the small group of youths that there learned in
the action and in it criticizes it collective the
occupation of the engraving. The tórculos existed
alone thanks to the generosity of the painting Kept
Ismael. The traditional materials that are used to
record are expensive: you laminate of copper, sophisticated
cared papers, instruments and inks, however the production
was plentiful when it didn't reach for the copper
sheets of irons or cardboards they were used, the
inks fed at two or three colors were printed many
times in paper of estraza etc. The results were surprising
in relation to the used methods. The experimentation
and the invention of new methods was indispensable.
There I met works of Dale, of Mónica,
of Nacho and other but. But from that moment I get
myself the attention the work of Nacho he/she will
See of the one who to followed their trajectory. At
some time we have exhibited together like in the collective
of painting zacatecanos in the Michigan Galery of
Detroit in 1989. Now I have just seen the exhibition
Ignacio he/she will See Ponce. The Great Road that
you presents in the museum Goitia of Zacatecas and
at the moment in the gallery of the seminar of Mexican
Culture in the city of Mexico. This work integrates
it 20 graphs carried out among 1994-1996.
When visiting this sample the first
impression that the spectator receives it is of being
before a series of reliefs policromados and the surprise
begins observing that these works could classify them
as engravings that it is graphic work., that is to
say that previously it exists a badge or mold on which
the ink is placed and then a humid paper that is pressed
on this to achieve the impression in the way and the
color. But in this case it is not small incisions
in a plane but I eat I already said from true high
reliefs to such a degree that stops their presentation
it is unavoidable to use boxes. Let us don't forget
that the box is in if an elected modality for important
artists of the contemporary art.
To achieve these works Ignacio he/she
will See had had to invent a complex technique: the
irons (molds are taken a bath and combined, hollowed
wood, plasters, burdened in metal, waters inks and
strong waters, etc. And the papers according to their
own confession are recycled and enriched with mixture
of fibers, in any fiber but especially they are notorious
the magueyes prints and nopals that in if they play
an important list for their aesthetic use.
A work of art who carries out it
to take place it should possess an I magnify occupation,
all creator should invent his own way to work, his
materials, to be a teacher of his own occupation.
This condition completes it thoroughly, thanks to
its great inventativa and wealth of resources undoubtedly
being faithful to its step for the shop Ruelas, to
Look for and it achieves a good result with the help
of work and imagination.
Formally the works of he/she will
See they belong to the world of the abstract thing,
that is to say their main intent this in the world
of the aesthetics. The composition, the stain, the
color doesn't correspond to works that you/they imitate
the appearance of the nature but rather they seek
to be nature in if same. This quality this accented
one with the insert of taken fragments of the reality,
like they can be the constants use of the thorn, or
elements of the human body, molds of things that they
exist.
If I said that they are abstract
works, it is necessary to understand this I finish
in their initial meaning: art of the real thing.
With all the mentioned elements,
these works transmit us an aesthetic emotion loaded
with dramatismo and they are surely alone a fragment
of the Great Road that is and it will be the own one
to walk of Ignacio he/she will See for the paths of
the art.
