Huesca,
Born in Barbastro and based in Berlin for twenty -five years, José Noguero was formed in painting and sculpture in the Massana Escola in Barcelona, also in Bristol and Amsterdam; And in those disciplines he has worked, in addition to photography, fundamentally.
In both and another, a particular treatment of time stands out in his works: it is possible to glimpse in them a presence of the ephemeral, in addition to the Renaissance of the forms, which sometimes seem to derive from the reconstruction of the destroyed.
The creation of scenographies, as we can see in their photos, interests Noguero, but also the possibilities of capturing the moment, which may be a fugitive in our perception of its duration, but which aims to make poetically dense in their work. In the landscape or in his study he attends the ambiguous of the real or of our own ways of looking; The heavens, the beauty of the clouds, are among their favorite reasons, as well as their own workshop and their forms of casual order; and his referents go from Venetian painting in their tones to abstract expressionism in their procedures.
This fall its recent creations are shown in the exhibition hall of the Diputación de Huesca: “Die Brunnen – Las Fuentes”, under the police station of Chus Tudelilla, consists of drawings, watercolors, paintings, photographs, boxes of light and facilities that claim the past as a creative source, an already essential reference in the first exhibition of this author in this same center, in 1996 He presented in 2002 after receiving one of the Ramón Acín scholarships.
Noguero seems to underline that there is no new art, but reinvention of what were debris in the fertile soil of their supports, and that tradition inhabits inevitable coexistence with the new; Also in the artist’s workshop, of which this project wanted to be an extension.
Other coexistence of theoretically opposite notions are possible in this ultimate production of the Oscense: those of vitality and silence, the untimely and calm, familiar and strange. When it does not paint, consult Hindu philosophy texts related to divine energy, real and mirage.
It is worth consulting the catalog of the exhibition, which is accompanied by texts by Pedro Medina, Alberto Ruiz de Samaniego, Frederic Montornés, Javier González de Durana, Julián Díaz and Marta Llorente.
