Los críticos hablanNéstor Plada: The good life o la búsqueda del paisaje interior. …. “ El pintor uruguayo Néstor Plada cuenta en su haber un mérito no muy común: la vocación de la sinceridad. Por eso su obra tiene ese aire de autenticidad, de trabajo gustoso, exigente y bien hecho.Es natural que encontremos en su obra el magisterio de Torres García Nos muestra una cuidadísima composición –vertebrada por la geometría y el número-; un colorido contenido rozando la austeridad más extrema pero con un enorme despliegue de matices logrados con veladuras, raspados, esgrafiados, improntas sobre el material fresco, collages y otras manipulaciones con las que consigue unos acabados tan impecables como elocuentes.” San Roque, 21 de febrero 2011 Juan Gómez Macias Artista Plástico La contundencia formal del paisaje …”Desde una gran contención representativa, con un dominio absoluto de los materiales conformantes y una capacidad absoluta para estructurar los distintos elementos, el artista uruguayo nos posiciona en un paisaje que, a fuerza de cercanía, plantea nuevos registros donde se adivinan muchos elementos presentidos. Estamos ante una pintura muy bien conformada, con las formas plásticas acertadamente yuxtapuestas y acondicionadas para que consigan efectos inesperados…. …..Néstor Plada, con una pintura poderosa, nos conduce por un estamento plástico lleno de intensidad creativa y acertada formulación pictórica.” Jerez de la Frontera, 11diciembre 2011 Bernardo Palomo Crítico de arte Diálogos íntimos compartidos a través de la plástica de Néstor Plada ...”El manejo del color, compartido con collage integrados en planos precisos, es sobrio y rico en matices. No es por tanto una pintura de impronta, es una búsqueda que pasa por un trabajo riguroso y persistente sobre la obra hasta conseguir lo deseado o intuido en un principio por el artista.” Marbella, 15 de noviembre 2011 Ricardo Alario Director RGalería y Artista Plástico |
Critics speakNéstor Plada: The good life, or the search for the internal landscape ...“The Uruguayan painter Néstor Plada is possessed of an uncommon quality: a devotion to sincerity. Consequently, his work has an air of authenticity, of joy – both stringently demanding of the artist and both well created. It is natural that we find in his work a reflection of the teachings of Joaquin Torres García, his first tutor. His work is constructed on an underlying scaffolding of near-geometric precision. It results in a most carefully elaborated composition. His use of colour can seem to border on extreme austerity, yet it displays a great array of subtle shades created through the use of glazes, graffiti, a scratching of the surface to reveal what lies beneath, imprints on freshly applied layers, collage and further techniques to create a surface which is as eloquent as it is impeccably rendered. San Roque, February 21, 20112 Juan Gómez Macías Artist The search for the interior landscape "From a wide range of contrasting elements, with an absolute mastery of the materials he uses and a total ability to incorporate a series of different techniques, the Uruguayan artist places us in a landscape that he has made his own and, through his intimacy with it, he offers a new awareness – giving form to much that we ourselves may only have intuited. We face very well constructed works where a range of techniques are juxtaposed and so arranged as to achieve unexpected effects… Nestor Plada’s powerful paintings arise in an intensive creative world that leads to these finely executed pictorial statements.” Jerez de la Frontera, December 11, 2011 Bernardo Palomo Art Critic Intimate dialogues shared through Nestor Plada's creativity “… His use of colour, together with his use of collage – both very precisely placed – result in a restrained palette which achieves controlled and subtly rich effects. Such paintings as his are not casual pieces, but emerge from a rigorous creative process which works to give reality to the artist’s initial vision of his subject” Marbella, 15th November, 2011 Ricardo Alario Director RGallery and Artist . |
