Transparencias II (2008) Painting by Jb Cruz

Joviality, is the first impression when observing the paintings, measuring 63 cm by 63 cm each, in which the strong colors prevail. Even with traces of apparent sobriety, the play of colors is responsible for the relaxation transmitted by the work. Judging by the painter's serious appearance, his works cause a certain surprise to the observer who may expect a young artist. The different textures allow each new observation, each different angle, each new light intensity, to discover new spaces, new colors, new paths within the same painting. Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time. Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and non-representational art, are closely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of identical meaning.
