E. García - BODEGÓN XL

BODEGÓN DE MAGRITTE is a 70 by 100 cm painting by contemporary artist Ernest García. This painting is not a simple homage, but an open conversation between Fauvist modernity and metaphysical tradition. The work articulates a dialogue between color, silence and symbol, placing the viewer in a territory where the classical and the modern coexist in poetic tension.

In the foreground, the sculptural head—an explicit echo of the Greco-Roman tradition—appears wounded: an intense, almost visceral red stain bursts into marble purity. This pictorial gesture breaks the classical serenity and makes the sculpture a vulnerable body. The reference to De Chirico is felt in the suspended atmosphere, in the space opened to the sea horizon, and in the isolated presence of objects laden with mystery.

However, the spirit of Henri Matisse dominates the chromatic construction. The vibrant blue of the sky, the incisive green of the leaf, the saturated yellow of the floating face, and the contrast between planes of light and shadow reveal a Fauvist consciousness of color as an emotional structure rather than descriptive. Color does not accompany the form: the sheath.

The face suspended in the sky, crowned by an exuberant hat of fruits and organic forms, introduces a dreamlike dimension that also recalls Magritte's surrealism. The floating pictorial element in the celestial space turns the still life into a mental scene. The sphere on the table —a recurring object in the metaphysical tradition— balances the composition and reinforces the idea of perfection, cycle, and eternity.

The dark curtain that divides classical thought into light and shadow accentuates the central duality of the work: reason and emotion, past and modernity, permanence and wound. Nothing is casual; every element functions as a sign.

In Matisse's Still Life, the artist constructs a space where color acts as an autonomous language and classical form dissolves into a contemporary symbol. The work does not represent objects: it represents states of consciousness.
A piece with a strong aesthetic presence and a complex conceptual reading, that engages in dialogue with the history of art from its own voice and is decidedly contemporary.
