Julio Larraz Behind the Curtain of dreams - Ascaso Gallery
Hace quince años dejé a Julio Larraz en la Luna, en un ciclo pictórico especial que presentó en Italia. Ha
    pasado mucho tiempo, para ambos, y nos encontramos juntos aquí en la tierra, me bajé después de estar cerca
    de los cráteres de plata, como Astolfo, que fue a recuperar la cordura y devolvérsela a Orlando; fuimos y
    regresamos con lo mismo, una sábana arrancada de las calles de Nápoles, ciertamente elegimos una solución
    factible a una afirmación inverosímil, aunque poética. Por otro lado, gastamos más palabras para comentar
    sobre una pintura, que para mirarla, para buscar el significado de una hermosa escultura que simplemente
    para escucharla. Siempre es útil racionalizar, llevar por el camino correcto un acto deliberado que no puede,
    no debe, escapar de los esquemas. Así, por ejemplo, The Curator (p. 16), que Larraz configura, está hierático
    y sin rostro –lo uno equivale a lo otro– delante del gran shunga en el que el abrazo probablemente recuerda
    la relación entre la crítica y el artista, y tampoco es fácil determinar quién hace qué cosa. Frente a la obra, la
    interrumpe, quieto y erguido en el pedestal que recuerda un ambón eclesial, listo para comenzar su sermón
    anónimo e irrelevante, cual sacerdote laico de una religión que tiene sus ritos y mitologías.

    En estos quince años de separación, la Luna todavía está donde debería estar, pero aquí el mundo ha
    cambiado, un poco como cuando te despiertas de un sueño y tomas la medida de la noche para encontrar
    las señas de la habitación: unos pocos gramos de luz que se deslizan en las grietas de las persianas, la mesita
    de noche o las desteñidas agujas fluorescentes del reloj de alarma que marcan los extremos conocidos.
    Volver a la realidad significa observar la realidad; “The dream is over / ¿What can I say?”, cantaba John
    Lennon, quien había vivido a ojos cerrados en sus Strawberryfields, él, que después de la aventura de Los
    Beatles no tenía respuestas seguras. Hay un especie de afasia que salta a la garganta cuando te despiertas,
    te frotas las pupilas y te das cuenta de que algo no encaja, que algo está sucediendo. ¿Qué decir? A veces
    es tan deshonesta la realidad que puede llegar a parecer dulce, incluso necesaria, sobre todo la que parece
    primordial, o mejor aún si es producto del destino. Aquí está el significado de The Heir (p. 17), que nos
    recuerda un pasado no demasiado lejano ni demasiado ilustre, con un solo lugar geográfico o con una nación
    específica; con sus lustradas y bien definidas botas negras, calvo y arrogante como cualquier dictador que
    tiene el favor de la gente, la soledad casi etérea en la que se desarrolla su coreografía pública, es, de hecho,
    una advertencia más que un deseo. En estas pinturas, que cubren una década de trabajo, Larraz toca varias
    veces con preocupación el tema de la libertad, comenzando en La Habana 1956, Portrait of the Artist as a
    Young Man (p. 19), donde la referencia a Stephen Dedalus de James Joyce subraya el deseo de emanciparse
    de todas las implicaciones y ataduras del contexto social y de la familia, para ser simplemente un artista. Esta
    libertad es fundamental en el crecimiento de cada individuo, y está en constante peligro cuando se mide
    con la transformación de cualquier pensamiento en un acto de fe al cual asociarse pasivamente. En Canto
    Confesante (p. 67), el punto focal no es la imagen del militar que aparece al frente de la arena, sino la sombra
    oscura del mantis, que se convierte en su objetivo correlativo. Ofrecemos siempre una representación de
    lo que nos gustaría que vieran los demás, nos presentamos como parte de un mecanismo aceptado y por

Se vuelve concreto y surrealista, una especie de “cuarto del deseo” de Tarkovsky donde Larraz transforma
la angustia de la pesadilla en un regalo de ensueño para todos aquellos que están listos para seguirlo en los
recesos secretos del alma. Si tienes el coraje de subir por los músculos del Coloso de Casabianca (p. 14), de los

Julio Larraz Behind the Curtain of dreams - Ascaso Gallery
Fifteen years ago I left Julio Larraz in the moon, in a special pictorial space he presented in Italy. It has
    been a long time for both of us and we met again here on Earth, I came down after being near the silver
    craters, like Astolfo, who went to recover his mind and give it back to Orlando. We went and came with
    the same stuff, a sheet drawn out from the streets of Naples, we certainly chose a plausible solution to an
    unlikely statement, however poetic. On the other hand, we spent more words musing over a painting than
    just looking at it, seeking the meaning of a beautiful sculpture that just listening to it. It is always useful
    to rationalize, to show the right way to a deliberate action that cannot, that must not escape schemata.
    Thus, for instance, The Curator (p. 16), configured by Larraz, appears both hieratic and faceless—the former
    equivalent to the latter—facing the great shunga in which the embrace probably reminds the relationship
    between the critique and the artist; and it is not at all easy to determine who does what. In front of the work,
    interrupting it, standing still on a pedestal reminiscent of an ecclesial pulpit, ready to start an anonymous,
    irrelevant sermon, like a lay clergyman of a religion with its rituals and mythologies.

    During these fifteen years of separation, the moon is still where it is supposed to be, but here the world
    has changed, just like when you awaken from a dream and take the measure of the night to find your
    way around the room: a few grams of light seeping through the cracks of the blinds, the night table or
    the waning, fluorescent hands of an alarm clock pointing at the known extremes. Returning to reality
    means to observe reality: “The dream is over / what can I say?” sang John Lennon, who had lived with eyes
    closed in his strawberry fields, lacking secure answers after the Beatles adventure. There is a sort of aphasia
    grasping the throat when you wake up, rubbing your pupils and realizing that something does not fit, that
    something is happening. What is there to say? Sometimes reality is so dishonest that it may appear sweet,
    even necessary, especially when it seems primordial, or better still if it is fateful. This is the meaning of The
    Heir (p. 17), reminder of a neither too remote, nor too illustrious past, with a single geographic place or a
    specific nation; with his well shined and defined black boots, bald and arrogant like any dictator enjoying
    the favor of people, the almost ethereal solitude in which his public choreography is displayed; it is, in
    fact, a warning more than a desire. In these paintings, encompassing nearly a decade of work, Larraz deals
    several times with the subject of freedom, starting with La Habana 1956, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
    (p. 19), where the reference to James Joyce’s Stephen Dedalus underlies the desire to be emancipated from
    all the implications and bonds of social context and family in order to be plainly an artist. This freedom is
    fundamental in the growth of each individual, and it is constantly endangered when the transformation
    of any thought into an act of faith demands a passive, acritical association. In Canto Confesante (p. 67), the
    focal point is not the image of the military man appearing in front of the sand, but the dark shadow of the
    mantis, which becomes its correlative object. We always offer a representation of what we would like the
    others to see, we present ourselves as part of an accepted and therefore safe mechanism, where propaganda
    still guides the consciences in spite of the past, in spite of the past evils. Edward L. Bernays wrote in 1928

that it does not matter whether a certain information is propaganda or not, given that it is a current event.      The oldest canvas in the catalogue is Faena (p. 13) of 2008, an epic bullfighting scene in which the toreador
On this not so common aspect there are many who are depicting a sick world hurling its heavy tentacles on          has suffered a cornada. The bull appears in the foreground, disturbing, facing the wounded adversary on

ceased to follow the wishes of his old friend, frozen in the hour of the age, or at 11:30 (p. 79), in a sort of    witness the actions of the parties involved. Perhaps ex post facto he could have chosen sides, however there is
eternal present which allows us to evolve towards a new situation. Here we find the whole sense of Larraz’s        always abuse in both factions and justice is perhaps equally absent of both. Today, the difficulty of finding
warnings, placing the royal garden in a warship, incrusted with thousands of wonderful but nevertheless            a unique canon to judge the illness of evil makes it even harder to confront the hardships that surround
threatening, static and timeless trees. To these warnings and callings Larraz opposes the stillness of             us. I remain undecided like the child in The Hunt (p. 49), who has made an awesome pact with the fireflies

behind the accomplished discovery, of laborious investigations which become fruitful. In the painting, a
house is reflected in the water, sketching a presence which either lives or could live through its dwellers, but                                                                                         © Flavio Arensi, 2018
nevertheless reveals a state of calm, of unnatural and therefore abstract muteness. This milky house with
sharp ceilings has neither concrete existence nor it is placed on an isthmus of burnt out grass, and yet it is
valued as a moment of premonition, like the articulation of an intimate and personal wish.

It becomes concrete and surreal, a sort of Tarkovsky’s “desire room” where Larraz turns the nightmarish
grief into a gift of reverie for those willing to follow him to the secret realms of the soul. If you have the
courage to climb the muscles of Coloso de Casabianca (p. 14), of which we can see only their giant ankles at
first, you reach his shaved pumpkin, move around it and get to understand that his metallic look is fixed
in one horizon, dominating the landscape, standing out majestically to induce respect. But it is the small
man in his head Bronze Care (p. 15), the tiny little man that provides his maintenance, the only one who can
watch the space in all directions. It is often said that we are but dwarves on the shoulders of giants, given
that the giants are real and not appointed by some authoritarian habit. What position can be better for a
dwarf looking for a goal way over yonder, our “quest for the sea?”
