DAY 1165 - Vision 5 & "Review"
Painting by Álvaro Izquierdo
ART REVIEW
Chilean artist Álvaro Izquierdo's paintings are more fun than digging
through a child's action-figure collection. Álvaro's lively works
include paintings, murals, sculptures and fashion. His paintings are
hyper-energetic and densely full of imagination. There is always more
to find in a Álvaro painting. So many paintings in the art world are
predictable and boring like a yearbook photo. Álvaro's art
consistently is full of rhythm and flavor (con ritmo y sabor.) His
unconventional colors and patterns are sure to surprise and bring a
smile.
Álvaro confidently dares to use garishly loud color combinations.
Colors as brassy as old cumbia songs, grab a viewer's attention. Each
piece is like an electrified Frank Stella, buzzing like a pinball
machine. "NEO GEO" and "Narcopolitca" are masterpieces. Álvaro's
works find a fine balance between Matisse's simple poetics and Bosch's
densely populated wonderlands. Álvaro's painting "No Sleep at All"
has all the charm of a Howard Finster landscape.
I encourage you to support Álvaro Izquierdo in his artistic
efforts. Look for more of his artwork here on
