My Dog Is Old, Blisters Broke

Javier Mariscal: Rossana

Mariscal in Maestrazgo "is a multidisciplinary project, suggests diversity, a free cross borders, a cultural exchange and a breadth of vision.
Clearly, Marshall is a storyteller of pictures that tell stories featuring characters that can be either objects or subjects. graphic stories are told by a pen that not only refuses to draw lines. It conveys emotions graphic concept, technological development and cultural and social significance.
This exhibition presents a Mariscal artwork with different techniques and media, from medium-format canvases painted with pen to paper collages and small scooters converted into wooden sculptures. His creativity distilled from everyday experience and makes it a fantastic practice takes forms amazingly diverse, multidisciplinary and rewarding shaken by small touches of defiance.
His proposal recovers vital acid and infinitely curious eyes of a child and adolescent insatiable power, always under the tutelage of a great artistic knowledge. His art, then, is rebellious but also nostalgic. And apparently impulsive style is reflective. Marshall has his own philosophy of life, that creates a fantasy world, where everything is possible, their own spatial and temporal laws. It is therefore a philosophy that stems from their life experience.
Mariscal, fierce-eyed artist, draws on the faces of street characters, landscapes, situations, travel, etc. Becomes master of his own destiny and build their spaces blank pages, with surprise and uncertainty situations, poetic revolution against the injustices of power, incursions into the dream world, melancholy and joie de vivre . And developed an original concept of the fable in which are also uncertain boundaries between humans and animals, all mixed in a combination of poetic character light touches of humor.
Mariscal spatial strategies are rooted in his capacity as an artist, but as much more subtle paintings and more complexity in the sculptures. Composition are strategies in which the distribution of characters and objects creates the poetry of the narrative and visual sensations. If the line is often narrative, color Mariscal is a "state" smart where we talk about the nature of perception. Planes built in simplified forms, often in conflict. Thus, Marshall achieved by the juxtaposition of the different tones and rhythms in his works praise the extraordinary essence Maestrazgo.

Marshal's works, as intense as prolific, overall support both planning and fragmented forms. Any detail of one of his works is, in itself, another work of art. While there are themes and forms that picks up and meet again over his long career, his works never cease to diversify and enrich themselves.
Finally, Marshall provides us with his works a privileged view of the colorful life to the smallest detail of our day to day.
