CRITICISM OF THE WORK OF MEDINA CAMILO
by Alvaro Urtecho
Scene & Experiences Camilo Medina
Camilo Medina, a young painter born in Managua in 1984, son of Efren Medina, inherited from his father the substantive sense of color, thick impasto, the organization of space in painting stripes.
Medina has studied theology in Guatemala, bringing its intention transcendent art, abundant still life draw attention not only by the structure compositvia but the slides that you can see them, their oranges, lemons and apples beside his bottles translucent reminiscent of classical tradition and the suggestion of lit walls like a dramatic esceneraio.
His nudes are grouped around him in a kind of wild set, as in the mouth or in the paint totally free of Ernesto Cuadra Cape, with its festive air and Dionysian.
One of the most powerful attention in this exhibit novel Medina (son of tiger striped leaves, as the saying popular) which will certainly enrich the newest Plastic in our country, is the interesting inner structure of his compositions, his visceral warp. Even at first glance we can see how to operate the composite procedure, the fabric of his paintings, something like your guts, its roof, its formal approaches, in a building held by a breath, a rapid pulse of the body, swell pictorial emotion itself, the boiling magma of pure color where there are no plans, no schedules, no issues but only the very rhythm of the stroke, the fingers and a spatula.
Alvaro Urtecho - Nicaraguan writer, poet and art critic, died in 2008.
