The curve, the
lustre, the transparency of glass that provokes the desire to touch, to
penetrate, to caress...Why? In what mix of impression, discovery and
research serve?
I was deeply troubled by these images in movement, which I experienced
in the universe of Fernando Ureña Rib. Perpetual sculpted spaces, open
spaces, folded, contoured, projected. A world of soft forms, polishes,
infinities open to multiple dimensions provoking one to touch.
The texture skin of canvas, of sculpture of the Dominican artist
reflects self. Continuously tempted to place one hand on the curve, and
follow the lines. What is the aftertaste or rather the before taste of
the dream that escaped me?
The desire that never ceases to renew itself, allows oneself to fulfill
the adventure.
Concerning the organic forms we question ourselves: are they flowers,
shells, fruits of the sea or women? The most representative figures were
a couple enlaced together on horseback, always, the blues, the ochre's,
and the orange. Creating a magic moment where time is suspended.
A breath of life and intimacy surprises you, forcing you to stop. His
images are always fluid, melting, free of constraints, crossing
boundaries of rigid spaces and fixed ideas.
Curious, sensitive, indulgent, deeply intense, of perseverance, of
conviction and desire, that is how I would briefly describe the artist
that I've met.
Those imaginative worlds freed from the pressures of imitation and
representation, having their own magic, impregnated with the spontaneous
associations of dreams, those imaginative worlds are organized on canvas
and paper...as in the work of Fernando Ureña Rib. So we reaffirm that
the artist in his last metamorphoses has evolved a fantastic surrealism.
This is an open face of youthful maturity susceptible of other
unsuspected evolutionary solutions.
