2. LIQUID INSTANTS
The colors of White
By Jose Antonio de Ory
So here we are, in front of the color without anything else, alone facing the
canvas full of acrylics in a way back to the origins, a trip to the seed, and
almost basic effort to understand for oneself, herself, what is going on with
the color, how they work, which are the chemical reactions that, when coming
together, makes them contract, expand, displace, melt, separate, flow…As
Gold expands in black, red contracts in white.
But off course, that is not all, because White is an artist not a scientist. Color
chemical reaction research she states “ is a metaphor of relations among
human beings.” Her colors as individuals when they relate among each other,
have a separate temperament and behavior and transform their nature when
they interact. They attract, expand, contract, retreat, distance an flow within
each other..
3. Venuz White´s paintings area at the same time artist sketches, her navigation
Binnacle, topographic maps of her travels around a continuously transforming
nature, cardiograms of human emotions in contact with each other.
Each piece of “ Liquid Instants” is being conceived as a chapter, as a photogram,
as a movie still. White plays with the liquid flows to propose a reflection of the
notion of time as a transforming element. In her paintings there is a static
liquidity, where time stops but continues flowing within the imagination.
It’s Venuz White who explains what se does “as an uncovered skin, this
biologically suggestive texture, proposes a cartography, a voyage among the
intimate internal space of the forms essence, of everything that exist with in and
that slowly reveals to the outside, as a fantastic nature in a chromatic energy
discharge that suggest an almost musical rhythm”.
