Flowerpot, glasses and scissors. Oil on canvas. 113 x 119cm
The painter Alejandro Alayza, belonging to the generation of the seventies, is one of the most valuable figurative artists of our medium and on April 3 he will inaugurate an individual exhibition at the Forum Gallery (Av. Larco 1150, Miraflores)
With this exhibition, Forum begins its celebrations for 50 years of existence. “Alejo Alayza has been with us since his beginnings as a painter and his extensive work carried out over fifty years has been characterized by a tenacious insistence on the pictorial craft, and the study of the use of light through color.”
As themes, maestro Alayza has always chosen to capture everyday scenes on his canvases – still lifes, landscapes, characters, flowers – “that are apparently simple, and deceptively naive.”
His works through a rigorous and solid composition, the play of light and the detail of a palette loaded with color have created a mystique of painting, which is his passion; where each stroke builds an aesthetic space, on backgrounds full of light.
“It is through the light that permeates his paintings, particularly in those blues that range from turquoise to darkness, that we can discover in his painting the atmosphere of a world beyond the everyday reality that his work apparently portrays. Alayza starts from simplicity to create a work, he studies painting rigorously.”
The artist Ricardo Wiese describes Alayza’s work like this: “Her unique style comes from the observation of nature (of the “real”) with the gaze of subjectivity, which clings to a jealously defended innocence. Alayza fables, remembers, contemplates, dreams, decides while he stirs the viscous matter on the palette, lights up tones, nuances them, and transfers them to the canvas. Confident in his instinct, he collects the primitive echoes of pre-Renaissance Italian, viceregal and popular American painting.
