Lucas Gauna: Artista
If painting were a finite artistic resource, then it would appear that the supplies have all but been exhausted. In the incessant need for art to change, the modern era has left little to discover. In this sense, perhaps it is necessary to return along the path and re-assess previous techniques and expressions.
In Lucas Gauna (Buenos Aires, 1977) we discover an artist who's extensive work meditates on this idea, to rediscover previous forms of expression and use them as a basis for further development. He dwells upon forms found in fauvism and abstract expressionism, mirrored in bold brushwork and the dynamic fanfare of color and form.
Working with great intensity, at the forefront of his ideas is the need to 'visually' balance each piece in its initial fase. Once the foundation has been laid he's liberated, the brush lends itself to impulses, his hand moving with spontaneity, the canvas flowering by instinct in answer to his artistic needs. The result is a repertoire of styles, a poetic voice that reflects above all a great hunger and love of the act of painting.
