EXHIBITION “stalking ideas” by Juan Romero.

Juan Romero: The reunion with an intelligent way of telling stories

With the title “Stalking Ideas”, paintings of various formats are presented, made of acrylic on board, canvas or cardboard and the one named “Indian Totem” corresponds to one of its famous columns in which the painting becomes three-dimensional and the volume serves to tell the story in a different and no less wonderful way..
Juan is one of the important authors of the current Spanish artistic scene and, together with his contemporary Luis Gordillo, marks the splendor of Sevillian artistic creativity of the moment.. The two share Paris as an opening and encounter with the unknown and from different experiences., both discover in that city, your personal way of expressing yourself and relating to the world. The title chosen for the exhibition, clearly marks the basic line that the artist has followed when constructing the works he shows us. From the vantage point of his full life, Romero observes and inquires about current events, transmitting with his images the ideas that make up his time and his existence. Each painting is a compendium of technique, color, study, sensitivity, cosmopolitanism and a resounding example of the teaching that he exercises.

In the fullness of his art, Juan Romero is revealed to us as a graphic storyteller. Of each work, It makes a unique story that we will never stop apprehending and that we will never tire of admiring.. His way of understanding artistic communication, It reminds us of the oral tradition of the Arab and Hebrew “halakis” who fascinate with the word even without understanding what they tell us or our romance tellers who, from the 15th century, with his use of verbal repetition and his characteristic rhyme, mark the crime or mystery they relate, maintaining the attention of the listening audience. So, among the paintings in the exhibition, in “The Arlesiana”, word that in French can mean something that is talked about, but no one has seen or will see, transmits an atmosphere of mystery to us at the same time that it undoubtedly offers us, a tribute to Paul Gauguin and his stay in Van Gogh's yellow house, in Arles, origin of the series of drawings and oil paintings that both created with the Arlesian Madame Ginoux, as a model. The artist creates his particular style of hairstyle and Arlesian cap, using colors and shapes that almost frame a sketch of a female face. Surely a bullfight in the Arenas of the city, They would delight our teacher.
“Thinking of Plovdiv” is the vision of that Bulgarian city with its characteristic domes built in the most “Romeril” way to present the remembered architecture and light..
In “Pueblo en fiesta”, we see a timeless space with the geometry of its dreamed buildings and the reality of a luminosity, a sun and a Mediterranean flora. The imagination, the sensibility, the perfect composition becomes simple in its complexity.

It is important to remember that for Juan and his long-time partner Claudine Weiller, painting is a way of being, lived as an adventure under any of the forms they want to present themselves. That is why in each and every one of the paintings that can be seen, now and always, there is the wisdom and experience accumulated with study, with work, lifelong: The Sevillian years of Pérez Aguilera, the friends, Madrid, Ortega Muñoz, Paris, the discovery of the Cobra group, Karel Appel, Jean Dubuffet, Paul Klee, Panic, Joan Miró. The connection of abstraction and figuration. Reality and dream. And always and in it continues: stalking ideas.
