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.
