Santiago Parra Rising Action SANTIAGO PARRA RISING ACTION MALAT JD GALLERY ‘Rising Action’ by Santiago Parra A Solo Exhibition at JD Malat Gallery ‘The actual painting of each piece is something very diferent from what is commonly conceived as painting, no art academy can prepare you for what it may actually need in order to create art: as I need the unconscious to move the brush, I must find a way to let go and lose the control of consciousness, and this is very dificult and not always achievable.’ -Santiago Parra. A new exhibition at JD Malat Gallery, on Davies Street in Mayfair, welcomes its space to ‘Rising Action’, focusing on the work of celebrated Colombian artist, Santiago Parra. ‘Rising Action’ marks the first solo exhibition of Santiago Parra in London, and casts an enlightened and thought-provoking eye on the technique and approach of an artist focusing on the rubric of the subconscious. Born in 1986 in Bogotá, Colombia, Santiago Parra’s canonical work is a declaration of the psychological, beautifully captured in this exercise of visceral transcendence. Parra’s work is the search for the purest form of representation, an intimate look into the mind of an artist, attempting to capture the aesthetics of the subconscious, free from the bounds of the compos mentis. Taking its name from the literary term; ‘Rising Action’ invites us to think deeply about the processes of dramatic tension, and how the emotion of particular events can be portrayed 4 on the canvas. Each painting becomes an individual incident, capturing this process of Certainly for Parra, ‘painting is a language. Each element within is discursive and psychological freedom and questioning. The efect, therefore, creates a sequence of dramatic enunciative. In my case the brushstroke is the enunciative element, it embodies the concepts events, culminating in a timeline of instances, which is efectively translated into a series of of freedom, strength, force, delicacy, balance, harmony, rage, beauty…’ The elements of internal conflicts, collectively forming a ‘Rising Action’. which, culminate to form this deep, contemplative enquiry into the abstract. The notion of translating Parra’s literary background into a calligraphic stream of It seems, therefore, that Parra’s exploration into a pure freedom of movement, is as consciousness creates a timeless beauty, strengthening the simplicity of Parra’s approach. As much the motif of abstract expressionism as it is his own, taking on a purely organic form. Yet, such, this process seems to free his work from the barriers of restraint, translating the canvas unlike the abstract expressionists of the mid-twentieth century, with whom Parra certainly into a manifesto of self-liberation, which gives itself over to the futility of the vernacular. As shares an afinity, Parra deliberately distances himself from this association, explaining that such, according to Parra; ‘my painting is close to writing, and is closer to automatic writing. his ‘paintings are done in a single moment and in a single brushstroke; I never retouch a One may say that I accomplished the ideal of automatic painting. When I studied surrealism painting, I do not plan in advance nor make previous sketches, my painting is truly automatic.’ in writing, the ideal was to truly write without any filters or limitations, and they did it For the viewer, this series of works which has formed under the banner of ‘Rising Action’ is an successfully, but in painting they didn’t, their paintings were illustrations or representations acute demonstration of this rejection of formality. Categorising the individual is something of dreams but they weren’t at all automatic paintings. The abstract expressionists in the 1950’s which Parra seems to strongly oppose, and although serving as sources for his work, his tried to revive the ideal with more success but there’s still a lot of control, of representation. I influences have become the barometer from which to rebel. In so doing, this culmination of think I was able for the first time to make true automatic paintings.’ the monochromatic has been a successful navigation. In particular, the abstract expressionists and surrealists have inspired Parra to ‘search for the unconscious as a source for art, and Parra’s work then, is a welcome break from the formalities of oppression, a migration geometric abstraction, with its absolute control of form, acted at the beginning, as a beacon from the formal linguistics of society; an idea which seems particularly apposite in the ever by which I pretended to guide all aspects of my life, but I found out that this perfection had to expanding enclosures of the metropolis and the reordered urban experience. The anxieties be adapted to our time.’ of modern life seem forgotten on the canvas, becoming shapes of liberation, free from the bounds of social restraint. For Parra, this process of application ‘departs from the profound Indeed, this binary between the subconscious and its representation in reality is a desire to make art,’ instead looking towards an emancipation ‘to create honest, true work, conflict which is successfully explored throughout this exhibition, making for a memorable and be completely free when doing it.’ A freedom which becomes the embodiment of Parra’s and exciting occasion. painterly process.

  • Concepción Chile Temple Fact Sheet
    CONCEPCIÓN CHILE TEMPLE FACT SHEET The Concepción Chile Temple will be the 160th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide and the second in Chile. (The Santiago Chile Temple was completed in 1983 and renovated and re-dedicated in 2006.) The Concepción Temple will serve some 122,000 Church members in southern Chile and some southwest reaches of Argentina. Location: Avenida Quinta Junge, Concepción, Chile Plans Announced: October 3, 2009 Groundbreaking: October 17, 2015 Public Open House: September 15 - October 13, 2018 Dedication: October 28, 2018 Property Size: 4.06 acres Building Size: 23,095 square feet Building Height: 124 feet, topped with the statue of the Book of Mormon prophet Moroni Architect: Naylor Wentworth Lund Architects (NWL) General Contractor: Cosapi Mas Errazuriz (CME) Exterior Features Building: As with many of the significant religious and secular 19 th century building of Chile, the design of the Concepción Chile Temple is neoclassical with subtle French detailing. The temple is capped with a dome, as are most Chilean religious buildings. Precast concrete has been used on the exterior walls, simulating the faux limestone stucco used in other historic architecture of the region. Seismic Considerations: The Biobio region of Chile experiences high seismic activity with massive earthquakes ranging from 7.8 to 8.8 every 20-30 years. This required significant attention during the design process. A state-of-the-art base isolation system was incorporated. There are 22 “pendulum” type base isolators supporting the temple, allowing it to move 30 inches (75 cm) in any direction, for a total displacement of 60 inches (150 cm).
