Gustavo Lopez Armentia, Los amigos del pianista (The Pianist’s Friends),
2006, mixed-mediaBas Relief, 22 x 30” x 2”
Gustavo Lopez Armentia is now something of an elder statesman in Argentine art: born in 1949 and self-taught, he represented Argentina at the Venice Bienale in 1997 and has been mining the themes of migration and modernity for many years. He has also, since 1998, worked exclustvely in an ingenious medium of his own devising, mixing marble dust, quartz powder, cement, gesso, and other ingredients in a mold to create smooth - and initially wet - surfaces on which to etch and color his design.
Lopez Armentia treats his ground as a palimpsest on which to inscribe a succession of motifs: Primeros vuelos (First Flights, 2007) shows a landscape with a woman apparently launching a plane into the air, alongside a schematic map connecting New York and Bogota; Los amigos del pianista (The Pianist’s Friends, 2006) celebrates place more emphatically, with musicians playing furiously near a sketch that shows how to tango. He works the ground laboriously to create extraordinarily diverse effects, from the cracked surfaces of First Flights, which elicits a choked atmosphere of storm clouds, to the sense of clear open space produced by the cream backdrop of La pasion de cantar (The Pasion of Singing, 2006). At times Lopez Armentia is childish and goofy, as in Mundo de todos, 2006 (titled Dish, Knife and Fork in English), whose bas-relief surface he shaped from giant pieces of tableware. But his sense of whimsy - which is also indulged in a series of bas-relief sculptures and such objects as painted bottles - is
delightful and redeeming.
