lejos de casa

Nacho Tusquets

A young artist who generated himself by spontaneous action, sometime between the end of the last century and this precise moment. With no other vital task than the vulnerable pride of art for art's sake, or, in its less haughty extrapolation, of art for search, the reconquest of something that is desired more by the journey than by the ultimate goal of its possession, Nacho Tusquets He paddles against the current due to the fluvial echo of human drives, with the mission of turning the unbearable lightness of wanting to sail to sail, and that's it, as far as possible from all that is known.

And it is there, “Lejos de Casa" Far from home, where he intends to take himself and everyone who dares to accompany him, the same place that, by chance, gives title to his most recent exhibition, which lacks a curator, like Nacho de intellectual home, because it healed itself.

Accompanied by a collection of works of diluted conceptual cohesion, in different formats and mestizo techniques (in the absence of a word that expresses with greater rigor the contemptuous absence of formal methodology or predictability in its style), “Far from home” sees Nacho Tusquets inventing himself in parallel to the management of the artistic presentation in society of his new work.

"This painting is nothing more than a boat in which everything is possible," says Nacho. "A journey through seas that I feel have been taken from me and that, therefore, I have a responsibility to find again, to make them, at least, visible by naming them with the colors my hands give me."

Without modesty or pretense that responds to reasons, “Far from home” is the ship that transports the scrambled instincts of a painter that does not fear beginnings or ends because, simply, it does not consider them. The essential thing lies, for Nacho Tusquets, in the imprecise distance between the two.
