As we have often stressed when talking about contemporary art, we must never forget that it is an art that is based on a concept, so they are creations that involve a deep and long experience in conceptual development before it becomes embodied.
This is one of those cases.





Koldo Sebastian, during the presentation of his work, he defined his conceptual process, from choosing the alphabet used for creation - the square as the entire area, its half and quarter - the colours, again a triad emerged from the stones of Cap de Creus, which show a variation in zinc white, slate gray and natural shadow, which are sometimes shown when they are dry or when wet.

From here Koldo Sebastian has created compositions that could be understood well as puzzles that allow all solutions, because it is also implicit in its creation - as it said - the idea that the master of Bramante (architect who designed the reconstruction of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican) had given him as a parting gift when he left his workshop, offering a leather case and saying, "When you have a problem you do not know how to solve, this case open, but not before ", when Bramante opened it he found a ruler and a note:" if you can measure, you can solve. "

Calignometrias is an acronym, it speaking of perfection (cali) of perfect angle (gnom) and measurement (metrias). The right angle - the angle perfect - is present in the square, the middle and quarter - so to speak – it is the hinge that allows realized the proposed.

The exhibited works include paintings and volumetric (the author does not want to talk about sculpture, although it is three dimensions compositions), and are the result of ten years of work.

With respect to the observer who want to see Calignometrias (or any other work of contemporary art) is crucial to understand that: to enjoy things, you do not need to know all about these things (an observation result of a story lived by himself Koldo Sebastian on a visit to Japan).

Concluding the opening ceremony was served an appetizer in collaboration with Cava Jané Ventura of El Vendrell.

The exhibition runs until May 26 in Las Quintanas – Casa Mas, 1 Llorenç del Penedès
