Granevolución ladeeste jovenpintor.El pasode lafiguración realista relamida a las obras actuales es enorme. En plena transiciónutiliza los lenguajespropiosde lapinturaconmayor atrevimiento y soltura. El color se transforma en símbolo. La forma, sin línea delimitadora, es sugerente de otras lecturas. Se centra en el retrato emocional, en la representación de lo que no se ve, en la luz interior. Sócrates y Jenofonte preguntaban al pintor Parrasio y al escultor Cleito cómo conseguían expresar el alma. No supieron responder, pero lo hacían. Lapoiesisplatónica se referíaaeso. JuanNaranjo ya ha pisado el camino de la representación de aquello que se esconde tras la piel. Ya ha empezado amanejar la expresión de la formayel color asuprocesocreativodemodosensible. ¡Enhorabuena! JuanNaranjo Intimateportraits The evolutionof this youngpainter is quite something to see. Thedifferencebetween his previous affected realist figuration and his current works is huge: in the midst of his transition he uses the language of painting withgreater daring and ease. Colour transforms into a symbol. Its form, without its demarcating line, suggests other interpretations: it focuses on an emotional portrait, on the representationof what cannot be seen, on an internal light. Socrates andXenophon asked the painter Parrhasius and the sculptor Polykleitos how theymanaged to express the soul. They didn’t know how to respond, but theymanaged todo express it somehow. Plato’s poeisis was exacly this. JuanNaranjo has alreadywalked thepathof representingwhat hides under the skin. He has already begun towork a sensitive expressionof form and colour into his creativeprocess, and for this hedeserves congratulations. JuanNaranjo Retratos íntimos 83 contemporay artists
