TRANSITS TO BLUE Saracho 12.06 - 31.07.24

“Transits to Blue” is Saracho ’s (Gijón, 1973) third solo exhibition at the Lucía Dueñas Gallery.

Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country, he has received one of the Paradores Artistic Creation scholarships.

His work, figurative but far from the desire for reproduction, is based on careful observation and attention to color; research into painting as a discipline and as a technique is, along with the everyday, the axis of his production.

“Transits to Blue” is the latest series that Saracho has created in the privacy of his studio. In this series, Saracho continues to work with the concepts of analysis and synthesis. Although nature is also present in this series, it must be said that most of the works are urban scenes , in which daily life in various towns is represented. The human figure is still present in most of his works, figures in motion or static that form an important part of the composition. For Saracho, it is not the place represented that is important, but rather the everyday life that is presented in that scene; the action, the movement, the stillness or the waiting of the figures represented.

 

The title of this series, “Transits to Blue,” refers to the transits of people that can occur in an urban environment, and to blue, since, once the series was completed, analyzing each of the works, blue was presented as an omnipresent character in all the works.

Saracho

“A painting full of loose brushstrokes and chromatic stains, in which figures and colours are displayed to show the spaces through which his gaze passes, ready to capture lived moments. A renewed and very personal figuration that, like open windows, has the capacity to attract the viewer's gaze.”
