Jorge Cabieses: IGNOTO
November 20 – December 27, 2013
Lucía de la Puente Gallery
Lima, Peru

Jorge Cabieses develops his work in an ongoing exploration new supports, surfaces, images. Intervenes melamine plates and industrial plastic pallets using old lithographs. Transits and appeals primarily to the geometry as a tool for cancellation in some cases and in others, using the same geometry as a single image and thus as solo protagonist.

For some years, the artist has been synthesizing images in geometries, questioning the representation of the image. Often claims the essential, shape and color.

Pure line and chromatic condensation can alienate the sense of replacement, risking of disappointing the spectator. In IGNOTO, Jorge Cabieses, get to know the unknown, connecting these two concepts in his work, the unknown as the exploration of new surfaces, and knowledge, which is the result of its own process.

Jorge Cabieses (Lima, 1971) studied at the School of Fine Arts Corriente Alterna and formed part of the collective PERU FACTORY. He was a finalist in the contest “Passport for an artist” (2001, 2002 and 2005), Phillips (2001,2002) and Telefónica Foundation (2001). He was selected to the Cisneros Foundation Scholarship CIFOs, 2011, and selected for the project Abstraction in Action by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill Curator, Collection Sayago & Pardon. His work is part of Fontanals Cisneros Collection.

Translated from Spanish

Which god, which infinite being can cease to be reduced into a single volume? For the iconoclast, the divine is indescribable, and every image of it is a lie. Precisely, the status of the image as such is the constant questioning that structures my work. Since my first exhibitions, the pop-style images began to run out, little by little, in their own repetition, until reaching present times, in which a symbolic bankruptcy of the image expropriated radically from its meaning, is defined in my most recent work. My current work is inscribed in this same process—the liberation of any symbolic association with reality. I have tried to settle in this equation, a discrete critical bias to the post-modern, which tries to idolize the maker of images in detriment of the image. The painter himself disappears and the spectator, used to the discourse of the figurative, ends up lost, facing the annulation of history and the vindication of the essential: form and color. Thus, in my work, I aim to confront certain canons of the Latin American image, through a problematization of the space: the obsession for narrative, the extreme sentimentality, the morbid fascination with the private. Opposite to that there is a constructive tension in search for something more universal, in spite of my own anxiety for harmony and thanks to an intimate conviction to my own elements.

¿Qué dios, qué ser infinito puede dejarse reducir en un sólo volumen? Para el iconoclasta, lo divino es indescriptible; y toda imagen de este, una mentira. Precisamente, el estatus de la imagen como tal es el constante cuestionamiento que estructura mi obra. Desde mis primeras muestras, las imágenes de corte pop se agotaban exhaustas, poco a poco, en su propia repetición; hasta llegar a la actualidad, en que una bancarrota simbólica de la imagen, expropiada radicalmente de su sentido, se concreta en mi obra más reciente. En este mismo proceso se inscribe mi proyecto actual: la liberación de cualquier asociación simbólica con la realidad. He intentado en esta ecuación cuajar un discreto sesgo crítico a lo post-moderno, aquel que se dedica a sacralizar al fabricante de imágenes en desmedro de la imagen. El pintor mismo desaparece y el espectador acostumbrado al discurso de lo figurativo termina extraviado frente a la anulación de la historia y la reivindicación de lo esencial: la forma y el color. Así, en mi obra pretendo a través de una problematización del espacio, confrontarme a ciertos cánones de la imagen  latinoamericana: la obsesión por la narración, el sentimentalismo exacerbado, el morbo de lo privado. Frente a ellos se establece una tensión constructiva en búsqueda de algo más universal, a pesar de mi propia angustia por la armonía y gracias a una íntima convicción de mis propios elementos.
