JOSE CARLOS VELAYARSE
I am a Peruvian musician and painter living in Vienna. I studied painting at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, graduating at the top of my class, I have a master's degree in Contemporary Artistic Creation from the University of Barcelona and I am about to begin studies at the Conservatory of Contemporary Music in Vienna.
Currently, I belong to the International Art Association IAA, I am also director of the Accidental Gallery, and I am a cultural manager and professor of drawing and painting at the IRARU Foundation in Vienna.
When people talk about the work of José Carlos Velayarse, they resort to define it with the term informalist, which was adopted to refer to lyrical abstraction, as opposed to the tendencies closer to cubism or the geometric rigor of neoplasticism. However, I would like to approach -if necessary- a more pertinent definition, where the term informal art coined by Michel Tapié or art autre (art autre), on non-geometric abstract art, may be the field where our young artist investigates. About interpretations on noise and music that the artist has declared as part of his process, it is good to remember that Henri Matisse was a violinist, the same as Paul Klee. JODE is a salsa percussionist and manages to identify more colors than shapes "since I am a percussionist and in a matter of colors I could interpret it with beats", making it clear that his perception reacts to the sensations caused by the sound. "It seems to me that I identify the field with the color orange, I don't know why, and the sea with green or blue colors, I identify silence with the color lead, I don't know why either..."Kandinsky's famous compositions were, in reality, paintings of symphonies, mostly by Russian authors. JODE speaks violently of the traces of their existence "with involuntary or often disruptive irruptions that dissolve into flashes of light, into the resulting precipitous images and into drawings formed by liquids throwing into time that is still present as a source, or even as part, of energy." These paintings project what the artist himself ventures as "a ramshackle style." It is this unstable - almost always invisible - relationship of the parts to the whole that anticipates the zigzags, symbols and stains. JODE goes beyond the margins of his paintings, he escapes the time that follows him forming barriers or inner blockages. Invisible has become visible because Lima has not been gray for a long time, and that JODE.
