Vicent Creatik

This gallery intends to introduce a debate on the stereotypes, categorizations and formalistic discourse of that when we talkTraditional Plastic Arts, seems to only we refer to the creations executed manually, concept that was largely overcome in the last century even when its prevalence lasts .....

I want to make clear that I claim the WORK OF CREATING, the culture of creative effort as a worker that designs and plans each of the phases that lead him to create a WORK. And I emphasize the craft/work because we create with tools and rudimentary gadgets, saws, nails, hammers, brushes, large or small rollers, mason vanes, spatulas, rags and sponges, cans and paint tubes, metal or plastic mixing buckets , homemade varnishes, latex, wax, sand .... etc ... etc ... But we can also make use of the New Technologies, we continue reading, writing, designing and creating a multitude of sketches and ideas finished, or unfinished , on paper, cardboard, wood, with pencil, ballpoint pen or marker, charcoal, chalk or graphite, with camera or mobile camera, or with paint, collages, cutex, scissors; but also of the Computer, the Scaner, the printers, the metal, the weaves, the wood, the ceramics, and a long etcetera, every tool is useful for the final result of the Creative Work. The truth is that we are immersed in something similar to a schism and an academic anomaly that unleashes controversies and passions in our peculiar world, it is not naturally assumed that PLASTIC ARTS, Draw or Paint are no longer just traditional manual processes sheltered from purism and the canons, some of us are already technological and versatile. The creative plastics also, finally, we can be polyvalent and multipurpose, plural and daring also applying other tools and other technologies, if we analyze it well we will understand that every epoch has its changes, its polemics, its crises and its ruptures; and it is learning, investigating, and looking for alternatives in the new, evolution and rebellion, CREATING is like that. We are also more humble and describe ourselves as Creative Plastics Workers, and we no longer touch the heavens, we are just ordinary people who also create. The important thing now is to tell something to excite no matter how to do it or what style or formal-traditional or academic technique and sanctioned as acceptable we belong, what else to say something drawn, painted, photomontage, printed, pasted, digitized or manual, if the end only is to shake emotions, reflection or critical thinking of others. Creating is all that and it is at the time more than we are or believe and with the prudence of assuming that we are not Artists because we create. "ART" is just the unique quality that our creations deserve from the judgment of those we are excited about.

My goal with this gallery is to propose an adequate, or not so much, consideration that all CREATED WORK, of yesterday or today must be considered simply as such, neither more nor less, it is not about the defense of HOW or WHAT WITH WHAT , or THIS IS ART and THIS IS NOT ....., if not to defend the OFFICE and created it as something tangible and real, much more diverse and multidisciplinary, more humble and close to ordinary people, less elitist maybe (? ).

I use my own creations with Scenes, Characters, Spaces, Works and borrowed Photographs, cans of beer or soft drinks, tobacco, nails, rags, saws, and many others ...., in short, Objects and Work Tools associated with me own work and represented as found by way of ARCHEOLOGY to show them as ART VESTIGES. Ultimately, I propose an Argument for Creative Diversity and against the disparagement and stereotypes of the inbreeding world of Art, perhaps this way we better understand the value and essence of the CREATIVE being and the created thing, regardless of the debates of what is or is not academically acceptable and assuming that Art, be it Painting, Sculpture, Music, Theater, Dance or Cinema ... evolve, reinvent themselves and are reborn from their crisis to face and transgress, taking a step forward, to the future, but being aware that After all, today's ART will have its archaeological remains in the morning, it is an endless loop, there is no more.
