The city and architecture as a canvas of color and works of art / La ciudad como lienzo de color y obras de arte

_Hello everyone, today I come to show you a particular point of the urban part of an artist from my country and although he is not an architect but an artist, he made interventions through Color in multiple urban spaces of cities in the world, in public spaces of buildings and even on facades, in a creative, artistic and innovative way. His canvases were diverse, his scales varied and his abstract vision full of ordering lines, composition and all the ordering elements that we know. By the way, recently a colleague in this community made a post about the life of this artist, if you remember who he is, paste his post down here in the comments.

In the 20th century, Carlos Cruz Diez, Jesús Soto and Alejandro Otero were the great exponents of the kinetic movement in Venezuela, being the most prominent in Latin America.

Intervention In Urban Space

The street as a support for the expression of art

The author says: “Traveling daily through urban space changes our personality, turning us into routine beings and obedient to codes that no one questions. The artist can create ephemeral manifestations that generate unpublished events capable of disrupting the urban “linearity” and at the same time surprising the urban routine. It is a way to produce different readings of such spaces, and to desecrate the utilitarian objects of urban furniture. "

Despite the fact that this great died in 2019 in the Country, he leaves a great legacy thanks to his studies and works in color and art.

I hope you like it a bit and do not forget to tell me what you think about art and architecture, for some it is a taboo to paint in urban spaces, for others it is so fabulous that they use it as spaces that take photos, I support The first criterion, since in planned and suitable spaces that need and merit the intervention of color and shapes, it can result in an urban resuscitation, generating sensations and creative good views for the city.

Hola a todos, hoy vengo a mostrarles un punto particular de la parte urbana de un artista de mi país y aunque no es arquitecto si no artista, hizo intervenciones mediante el Color en multiples espacios urbanos de ciudades en el mundo, en espacios públicos de edificios e inclusive en fachadas, de una manera creativa, artista e innovadora. Sus lienzos fueron diversos, sus escalas variadas y su visión abstracta llena de líneas ordenadoras, composición y todos los elementos ordenadores que conocemos. Por cierto, hace poco un colega en esta comunidad hizo un post sobre la vida de este artista, si recuerdan quien es peguen su post aquí abajo en los comentarios.

Carlos Cruz Diez nació en 1923 y murió en 2019, es un artista venezolano que se convirtió en uno de los exponentes más importantes del arte cinético o cinetismo en el mundo, sus investigaciones y propuestas sobre el cromatismo . En esta publicación veremos una variedad de las obras que realizó .

Es considerado el máximo representante del arte cinético venezolano, estudio desde pequeño el mundo del color y las artes plásticas. Su evolución como artista inició como un artista figurativo, Cruz Diez transitó hacia la abstracción en la década de 1950. Antes de dar con sus planteamientos cinéticos, trabajó en diferentes investigaciones que dieron vida a la leyenda que cambió el mundo cinético.

Mediante sus desarrollos en sus investigaciones y creando maravillosas obras que hoy pueden ser apreciadas en colecciones permanentes de importantes museos como: Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) de Nueva York; Tate Modern en Londres; Centre Georges Pompidou en, París; Museum of Fine Arts en Houston; Wallraf-Richartz Museum en Colonia; Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville en París, entre otros museos.

En el siglo XX , Carlos Cruz Diez, Jesús Soto y Alejandro Otero, fueron los grandes exponentes del movimiento cinético de Venezuela siendo los más destacados de hispanoamerica.

Intervención En El Espacio Urbano

La calle como soporte de la expresión arte

El autor dice: “El transitar a diario por el espacio urbano cambia nuestra personalidad convirtiéndonos en seres rutinarios y obedientes de códigos que nadie cuestiona. El artista puede crear manifestaciones efímeras que generen acontecimientos inéditos capaces de trastocar la “linealidad” citadina y al mismo tiempo que sorprendan la rutina urbana. Es una forma de producir lecturas distintas de tales espacios, y de desacralizar los objetos utilitarios del mobiliario urbano.”

A pesar de que este grande murió en 2019 en País deja un gran legado gracias a su estudios y obras en el color y el arte.

Espero que les guste un poco y no olviden comentarme que opinan del arte y arquitectura, para algunos es un tabú eso de pintar en espacios urbanas, para otros es tan fabuloso que lo usan como espacios que se toman fotos, yo apoyo el primer criterio, ya que en espacios planificados y aptos que necesitan y ameriten la intervención de color y formas, puede resultar un resucitamiento urbano, generando sensaciones y buenas vistas creativas para la ciudad.

The space is vibrant and I feel some freshness into it. The layering of colors brings out a vibrant and energetic feel to the space.

Sinceramente, no lo conocía. Pero me parecen sumamente interesantes y sugestivas sus propuestas y como muestras en las fotografías, ciertamente espectaculares en su aplicación práctica. En cierto modo, y como el título, me recuerda la filosofía de Banksy: la ciudad es un lienzo. Interesante post. Saludos cordiales
