David Brooks: The social animal
Antonio Asis has his studio on Rue St Jacques, near the Sorbonne University and right next to a Lebanese restaurant. We arrived at our rendezvous point two in the afternoon. María Inés Sica, Sica Gallery director, had suggested this meeting, "My studio is on the first floor," I scored the teacher Asis in an e-mail confirming our appointment. After drinking coffee, We took a back room. Had artwork on the floor, hung on the walls and on their desk. There were a few sheets of paper on which he had drawn, perhaps imagined, the huge pieces that now rest on the ground. At that time working on a massive work that had been commissioned from Argentina, his hometown. It was a huge geometric shapes that would soon be covered by metal grilles. They are a constant in his work and have the power to release the color and movement into space.
handling of form, color and the transformation of a simple drawing obtained under these grids specifically commanded to do in Germany experience proved to be a sick stranger, for the first time I could feel the vibrations of color space is permeated to impose their presence. His works make clear the Heraclitean statement: everything is moving. Color, and the form, the underlying motion. How do you get to these proposals? Is it accidental, it is planned or a combination of both? And despite the argument that Asis guess I would, I felt the need to hear it. Now that I write, I imagine the constant wonder of exploration in which raided the artist and the discovery that came: a dance to which few are fortunate enough to attend. Only those who are cerca del fuego creativo, aquel fuego del que hablaba Heráclito y que es el misterio de la creación, lo pueden saber.
