Luis Corchon

Corchon's art is not just an interpretation of music, but instead an orchestration of new music, a symphony of paintings. Each painting incorporates different rhythms and repetitions to create continuity and fluidity within the "song." These areas of transparency give the impression of transience, like a note played, suspended briefly in the air, and disappearing as the next note follows. Each painting has been described as "truly musical in spirit, with its diversity of color tones and shapes that flow harmoniously across the canvas.
Would a symphony be as empowering, engrossing, and graceful it if were made up of only one instrument playing the same melody? In order to impact an audience, a concert combines the melodies, harmonies, and different tones produced by each unique instrument. In the same manner, Corchon's paintings are created individually, but with a harmonious concept in mind. Alone, they are redolent of a unique and enchanting melody. However, together, they create an orchestra of colors, lines, and sweeping forms that form images of simultaneous spontaneity and control, improvisation and grace.
Corchon's paintings provide an outlet for him to express himself through colors and brushstrokes, just as a musician experiments with sounds and instruments to create a melody. At the same time, Corchon strives to let his "music" express itself spontaneously, and find pleasure in being part of the "musical" process without feeling compromised to adhere to any form of aesthetic constrains. Creating music through art allows him to transcend dimensional spaces by using a dimensional medium. Corchon sees himself as a spectator taking in each "sound" without total knowledge of how the "music" will sound to the audience.
