Jaime Azocar's painting pictures are a kind of desperate poetry, a strange way of dealing with distress by derision.For Jaime Azocar painting must show an extreme but under control violence. From colour to language, from chromatic transposition of situations and feelings to cultural implications and winks, Jaime Azocar work on new vision of the world.
Jaime Azocar - self portrait
" How to define my painting ? Some name it critical figuration, new figuration, new image, narrative figuration... Lots of words really whose responsibility I leave to critics and art audience. I would allow myself to be tempted to simply say:"ackowledgement"."
Jaime Azocar - by Jean-Jacques Lévèque:
Jaime Azocar is talking to us about nonsense... Jaime Azocar likes joking, telling in every detail sketches between hell's sight and some intellectual and codified public house theatre's gags. Death is an entertainment. Jaime Azocar always harks back to it, lingers over it ...
The stories Jaime Azocar is talking about are not taking on a one-way road forward. Jaime Azocar's painting pictures don't forced themselves upon us. They request us. And they stimulate imagination, letting everyone free play to go after. Incitement painting to the imaginary profusion.
Jaime Azocar - by Jean-Jacques Lévèque:
What we "hear" best in Jaime Azocar's painting, is the "cry of colours" as Münch sayed, this famous "roaring of pure colour"...
What's more "thrilling" for the eye than this closeness, in Jaime Azocar's painting, of complementary colours; red next to green, blue next to orange, yellow next to violet ... ? But, moreover, with Jaime Azocar, it's the hair that is blue, a cow that is red, a sky that is yellow, a coffin that is green, etc.
