Perpetual Transience.  2006-2008

The Works have been carried out on paper in large format, drawings carried out with broken lines of acrylic paint which leave their mark among different planes of colour. They are partial views which bring to mind places of transit, those familiar places through which we circulate day by day, platforms, escalators in the underground, airports…

By means of those incomplete lines like marks, about to disappear and by using a minimum of elements to describe those transitory places, I hope to get close to those places, which unconsciously remain registered in our memories.

Places where there is constant movement, constant comings and goings, stairs going up and coming down which I use as a  metaphor to reflect on the space we inhabit, the search for somewhere and the desire to find it.

 

Nothing Fluttering Lightly. 2006.

On this occasion I developed the work using the space itself as a support.
In the space I placed small constructions, containers of the remains of solid paint, creating hybrids, sculptures made of paint.
In some cases I separated the paint from its support obtaining fine layers as though it were skin.  I then proceeded to fold them and pile them one on top of the other.
With other layers of paint I formed consecutive folds, later creating a place to house them.
I inserted these constructions in the space by means of a lineal drawing made with adhesive insolating tape, relating them with other elements which are positioned on flat coloured geometric shapes painted directly on the wall.
The observer can perceive and experience the space.  I have intervened in the space, transformed it, providing the walls of the place with a new skin.

Hybrids. 2002-2005.

"...Thus, the solidified pigment takes on a malleable form that is seen through the canvas becoming fixed like a sticky lump of paint on the wall, or presents itself in the shape of objects that take on sculpural or monumental forms that at times form constructions and, when in groups, even have the appearance of cities. Daniel Charquero likes to contemplate this exuberant growth of paint through the different arts; painting in its pure state, sculpture, architecture and urbanism.

Through photography, he forces his objects made of paint to return to the limits of two-dimentionality. His photographs of these objects made from paint play with a certain spacial confusion, recreating a depth in the paint on the plane, with the appearance of an object, a monument or even a city. In this way he not only unites the different visual art forms around painting, but he recreates, with a new turn of the screw that sends paint in a perverse and renewed way to the specific field of two-dimentionality, the problem that really concerns him: that of finding a place of its own for painting".

Disintegrations. 2000-2004.

These are paintings on canvas belonging to the series "disgregaciones" ("disintegracions". According to the Maria Moliner dictionary "disintegrate" means to disperse or to erode, to divide particles of a material. To disperse or to wear down, to disintegrate, to break into small pieces, to crumble, to break up, to fragment, to destroy, to divide, to scatter...).

I let the paint drop onto a flat coloured bacckground while I separate the lines as they disperse over the canvas leaving blots, marks, prints, an illegible script of shadows and strokes of light - lines that are no longer there, only their remains are left.

Experimental Videos and experimental music. 2007-2010.

This work has its origins in daily experiences in familiar environments. It is a reflexion of what is happening around me expressed through audio visual language.
