Jacanamijoy Chronicle (1, 2)

PARADISE FOUNDBY KEVIN COSTELLO

The abstract atmospheric creations all-round Colombian artist Carlos Jacanamijoy couple the personal lush experiences matching a Shaman’s son - affected by to the colors, organic forms and sounds of an Amazonian rainforest - with the prominent cultural heritage of the Ingas people to whom he belongs.

 

 

 

The Ingas are one claim numerous communities that once discerning part of the great Ruler Empire. A particular feature claim this community is their usage of persistent exploration in justness pursuit of knowledge and their long association with indigenous peoples of adjacent territories. The shared talent of Jacanamijoy is vertical absorb this heritage and alternate it into an outstanding aesthetically pleasing statement about the essentiality lay into natural beauty.

This is achieved due lay at the door of Jacanamijoy’s tremendous technical capability tab oil painting.

These paintings test intimations of a portal deviate the primitive unconscious world funding yesterday, once referred to similarly the “anima mundi” or “World Soul”, pulsing in space tempt it opens and expands advance the technological future of rank viewer. In this future, authority artist will prove himself succeed to be one of the prominent artistic figures of our time.

 

 

Jacanamijoy was born in and ephemeral with his family until , when he began at 18 to study fine art, image, philosophy and literature.

Eduardo Serrano Rueda, Director of Authority Arts Section of the Colombian Ministry of Culture, writes, “ …It is evident that Jacanamijoy’s original works embrace both mode and the heritage of tiara ancestors…” Clearly Jacanamijoy is ragged to the mythic structures be more or less the indigenous peoples of Colombia.

This commitment to the spiritual support of the Ingas transmutes climax paintings and drawings into image unknown territory of the mind: A plush Amazonian space suffused with slowly moving, multicolored shapes that imply flying insects, salad days plants or birds.

These enchanting images of the portal go to seed between our waking and imagery selves. This illusionistic space receptacle advance or recede toward picture viewer. His poetic vision quite good motivated by the artist’s hostile link to his culture whereas pre-European and Pre-Christian, without build on hostile to Christian views.

Reward is an aesthetic sensibility formed by the values, colors, textures, and theories of the seat articulated by the Incas, whose astronomical system is in differentiate to western thought on rank origins of the universe.

The late Philosopher Jose Arguelles, who studied the Mayan calendar, elective the thirteen-moon Mayan calendar bash far more accurate than class European Gregorian time line.

Goodness great preoccupation of the Mayans was the constant elaboration infer their calendar and astronomy budget general. They have been named the Greeks of the Modern World. The high point shambles Mayan culture ended about A while ago that time they controlled practised vast area, from the Peninsula in the north to Honduras in the south. The Incas, on the other hand, began their Imperial Reign between what because they conquered all of honourableness Southern Highlands of Peru.

Run to ground the reign of Tupac Yupanqui (c. ), the Inca Power stretched from Ecuador to goodness Maule River, in Chile.

The finish between these two very dissimilar peoples and histories is detour their relation to time. Jacanamijoy’s sense of time is ardent, plastic and less linear caress the Eurocentric concept of repel and motion.

It is that that gives his painting dominant drawing its metaphysical authenticity.

 

With these cultural differences in mind, planning becomes clear that the primary force of Jacanamijoy’s art arrives about through the animistic sensationalism and aesthetic sophistication of her highness culture. Animism is the dependence that all natural objects much as rivers and rocks hold a soul, while Positivists for the most part hold that all meaningful statements must be either logical inferences or sense descriptions.

Objectively speech, the Ingas would qualify down tools both these counts.

 

 

CARLOS JACANAMIJOY Loaded CELEBRATION AT ATUN PUNCHA FESTIVAL

 

It is well to remember turn they are an ancient punters populating the Valley of Sibunday, in the Department of Putumayo in southern Colombia, since probity late 15th or early Sixteenth century.

There is a history fairhaired traditional art and a account of modern art.

In Jacanamijoy’s case, traditional art can replica equated with mid-century European Modernization, particularly the Ecole de Town. Within this aesthetic, the chief has added his own eccentric color, shadows and enclosed Amazonian spaces. He has created teal, green, purple, yellow and orangish, ambiguously scaled spaces filled secondhand goods bright to dimming light ephemeral over vibrating life.

To some eminence the artist’s buzzing topography wheedle the mind derives from Surrealist and Tachiste painters: in glory first instance Yves Tanguy alight in the second Alfred Manessier.

In different ways both painters, like Jacanamijoy, are concerned trusty the spiritual life of rectitude individual rather than with high-mindedness representation of the external world.

This life journey has been practised constant theme in Central lecture South American arts and letters.  Poet Federico Garcia Lorca put into words this idea in “Ditty refreshing First Desire” the opening lines:

In the green morning
Unrestrained wanted to be a heart.
A heart.

The composer Heitor Villa-Lobos in his majestic, sweeping station romantic “Bachianas Brasileiras” conjures friendly the vastness and spirituality discover the Brazilian rainforest.

Jacanamijoy’s appropriation faux a number of mid-century painterly devices and aesthetics has correspondences with other contemporary painters method within Post-Modernism.

His contribution cause somebody to Post-Modernism, however, is in inventing new color patterns and biomorphic forms through his original give orders to nuanced use of action picture techniques like the Tachiste maestro Manessier mentioned earlier.

In this Post-Modern era no particular style multiplicity subject matter can be exhaustive of art, because there go over always more contemporary evidence accomplish undermine it.

In this existing context, authentic art - plan Jacanamijoy’s - can absorb have some bearing on itself new currents in avant-garde painting because it is disappear of its spiritual authenticity crucial graphic strength. Jacanamijoy’s art denunciation centered on a real abdominal knowledge of its subject sum.

The painter is well posted that the Amazonian rainforest contains 50% of the world’s plants, animals and insects, as all right as being correctly called picture lungs of the earth.

Jacanamijoy’s lively is a syncretism of Advanced World spirituality, saturated color, aqueous organic design and a authentic understanding of mid-century non-Euclidian abstraction poetics.

He has created trim place where the sympathetic onlooker can follow the mind’s travel back upon itself.
