Àlvar Calvet – Lux & Los – From 3 December to 2 January 2011

The light of some cracks in the blinds at various hours and days offered Àlvar changing geometric images, full of suggestions. They were images related to his recent work of repetitive and abstract paintings based on grids, lines or spellings. Who has not ever been happy with the reflections of light from a nearly closed blind during convalescence or a day of solitude and introspection? It is with time, patience and seclusion that someone can make the point to where the photos have come out of Los & Lux and the paint that surrounds them.

Acceleration of the eye when it captures light using the photographic technique, slowing the painting process where it is located, “hemmed”, photo printing. Both are on opposite relation, therefore complementary.
The dialogue is established playing with time, the time of the fleeting light, and speculation of lived time, which is suspended and expands into the particles of trapped pigments in the colors. It’s the clash of a lost battle, naive hindrance of the artist, the romantic hero who does not know how to escape from the tyranny of real time, not suitable for appropriation of space for the stopped image, that pours a personal and unique concept brought about by the sudden arrest of this time-light of his work.
