E. Pérez Lezcano - “El gesto calculado” XL ( No Reserve)

The calculated gesture

The calculated gesture is articulated as a reflection on the figure understood not as an immediate representation, but as the result of a structural decision. Each plane, each intersection, and each chromatic displacement responds to an internal logic where the gesture is not spontaneous, but measured, contained, and conscious of its place within the whole.

The work is built from an unstable, almost architectural verticality that alludes to the human body without describing it literally. The figure emerges fragmented, held together by tensions between fullness and emptiness, as if each element had been placed after a reflective pause. Nothing seems accidental: even the softest curves are balanced by firm angles, creating a sense of control that coexists with a latent vibration.

The Cubist language manifests here as synthesis, not as aggressive decomposition. The volumes dialogue with each other through clean superpositions, and the color acts as a system of visual weights. The green and ochre tones stabilize the composition, while the more intense accents — orange, black — introduce decision points, moments of emphasis that guide the eye and mark the internal rhythm of the work.

The symbolic presence of the chess piece suggests a deeper reading: the figure not only inhabits space but also thinks, evaluates, calculates. The gesture alluded to by the title is not physical but mental; it is the gesture preceding action, the moment of concentration where all possible movements are still suspended.

The calculated gesture thus proposes an image of contemporary identity as a conscious construction, as a balance between intuition and structure. The work does not seek to narrate but to place the viewer in front of a form that seems to stop just before acting, reminding us that even silence and stillness can be the result of a precise choice.
