The
Being is to be perceived: when we contemplated to
the engravings of Ignacio Side Ponce confirms east
singular to us aforisismo of George Gerkeley, through
as the podriamos ones to explain the nature of certain
modern art - that that privileges to the subjective
perception of the world over nobody ideologia, vanguard,
filacion or nationality -; for that reason, when perceiving
the engravings of Side Ponce - when our glance feels
these figures that guard or reveal between abysmal
lights or overwhelming darknesses, when those aureoles
listen to our eyes, or when that trashumante flora
or that hanged person smells our pupil or this crucifixión-
the Being that is revealed before our senses cannot
describe by means of the erudite commentary nor historiograia
of the art: on the contrary, the work forces that
cumulguemos to us, by principle, with the noctrunal
perception of its author, whose office and patience
have forged a mirror that - nitido- always demonstrates
after the world vacio, after the man the ghost, after
the reality the dream; a mirror that avoids the transaparencia
and that - translúcido or opaque sometimes
single it shows the rusty and aspera surface to us
of its own glance, of its own one to be perceived
- and that, therefore, seems to denuciar the vanity
of the appearance and the being -; we are before a
work that turns to the black color the central argument
of its cosmology; that way, once we inhabited this
universe of organic vague forms and shade, the engravings
of Ignacio Side Ponce send us to the life is dream
of Calderón and - on everything to the allegorical
escatalogías of Juan de Loyal Valdés,
cuayo title Finis Gloriae Mundi would serve very or
to describe - or to emphasize the baroque skepticism
that animates them: when the material passes away
- the apparent thing -, it only remains his carrion
eternizada by the art; the man is itself a hollow,
the aim of the worldly glory inaugurates the principle
of the artistic work.
