Zañartu, the unknow artist

I found the work of enrique zañartu by chance in a exposition in telefonica several years ago, but the last year it´s made a big exposition of his work in the mac and then, i was more informed from his work and his life. Enrique Lihn said from him that always he was wandering in his own landscapes, a man in constant search of himself inside of his landscape, and the relationship between the man and the space.

Zañartu is brother of nemesio antunez, a famous chilean artist,Zañartu made his works in paris, but always had the chilean landscape like a reference for his iconography. Now, after his died, is considered one of most important modern artists, like matta.

I like the colors of his works, color from the andes mountain, the abstract fomrs and specially his

stroke, strong and delicate at the same time, and how put the human been inside his landscape, the lanscape that we see through his eyes.

What happens to me with his works?? well, i can see myself in his abstract landscapes, looking for something unknow, in a space not happy but no sad, just a strange space o maybe a no-space. this kind of feeling when we walk alone without know where we going. Like a sabage detective
