THE NIGHTS OF JUAN FERNÁNDEZ LACOMBA, 1983-2012. ON THE PLASTIC CONSECRATION OF BLACK

Abstract

This article analyzes a type of painting by Juan Fernández Lacomba in which there are two conditions, the autonomous plastic configuration of what we could call abstract landscape and the nocturnal interpretation of it, all in a wide space of time, which includes from the first in Paris in 1983 to the most recent in the Coto de Doñaña in 2012. More are abstracts paintings, conceived in an intellectual order and according to internal relationships due to the painter, the same ones that are presented by those other paintings in which he introduced some recognizable figurative element, which for that reason do not lost the first condition. The evolution in such a wide time frame in the career of a painter has made it possible to elucidate the specific guidelines of each group and variants and to obtain the appropriate conclusions.
