Miguel CONDÉ (1939). Etching Hand-signed and numbered. HODOMURA JAPAN paper, 56.5 x 38 cm. Edition of 50 numbered and hand-signed copies. Published by: manus presse, Stuttgart, 1980.. "Miguel Condé's drawing transcends all rational narrative with theatrically surreal scenes. Without abandoning figuration, his timeless characters undergo an uncertain metamorphosis within the imperative unfolding of the claustrophobic frame. Icaruses plummeting into the world, Magicians claiming the fragile appearance of reality, Sages appealing to ignorance in the search for a breathtaking moment, for a perfect work. Clowns without a homeland and Globetrotters without a destination, rising naked above humankind. Flâneurs and vagabonds translating, with sufficient detachment, the chaos of things, the Laocoön as an inscrutable symbol of destruction and death. In short, actors and compositions that inspire solitude, human characters, all too human, brimming with enigmatic and hieratic melancholy beneath a surprising and serene spectrum of warm and fiery colors forged in the partial detail of the line. Condé is a postmodern eclectic, who... "Remember that much was already said in Bosch or Brueghel, in Velázquez or Caravaggio. Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque resonances that coexist with the miseries of our time, updating them with poetic contrast for our own theater of the absurd."
