Cuerpo y Alma

Sculptural photography by Andrés Ginestet

© Ginestet, 2006

The series of photography in this exhibition is dedicated to some of the seven emotions that the artist considers to be the basic requirements for an artwork to become eternal and complete, and for it to transcend the time in which it was created.These emotions are tied to the images of gestation; a metaphor of the anguish the artist feels in the act of creating, precisely when his mind is being fertilized by the original idea. Ginestet puts all the models on the threshold of the door communicating between two spaces: the first one dedicated to painting and the second one dedicated to sculpture. This way, bysuperimposing the two opposite points of view, there is at the same time a fusion between painting, sculpture and photography. This fusion is both a paradox in its strength and its delicacy and has its counterpart in the three dimensions of the bronze casts of busts, in which the images find aesthetic continuity. Way beyond any sculptural speculation, the images suggest a double dimension with its being fusing the point of view most obvious to the viewer with its subtle counterpart, darkness, thus inviting the onlooker to enter this work (as much as a single piece as a collection of pieces) as if it were one’s own existential enigma.

The imploration of lightThese art pieces are dedicated to the imploration of light and its seven main colors.The same colors also appear in the Picadoras-collection in different colored precious stones.

They symbolize seven feelings or emotional levels, which condition every human or artistic creation. The installation is comprised of nine sheets. The first and white one stands for daylight.The last and black one symbolizes night. In between, there are:

Orange for innocence, virginity and openness.Pink for inspiration.Blue for gestation.Green for perfection and maturity.Violet for respect , distance and reflection.Yellow for satisfaction and for pride about the achieved work.Red for rest, farewell and emancipation.

The grey colors of the cross inspire the imploration of light. The cross is slightly asymmetric.
