Celebrations of Jazzamoart

By Raquel Tibol

Jazzamoart truly enjoys painting and sculpting, and fully devotes himself to art, but his visual lightning is not indulgent. There is a certain cruelty in the way he excites the senses of the observer. His barbarous masquerade yields no consolation; his glittering chiaroscuros and the angular contours of his figures appear to be driving towards madness or coming from it in a rhythmic and grotesque fashion. The fiesta is exciting; it playfully constructs and deconstructs. The beat churns. The barriers fall. The reins are let go. Art is conceived as a concentration of emotions. Is Jazzamoart neo-romantic or an expressionist? His work today exemplifies just how far traces of the Romantic aesthetic can be found in Expressionism.
