José Manuel Broto
Xippas Punta del Este
The painting of José Manuel Broto is used in all its oppositions, by mixing the rigor and the freedom, the fluidity, the transparency of the manual movement and the opacity of a digital impression. The artist works the contradictions of the material, the color, and the form to unite them with possibility of new dimensions. The geometrical forms of the bottom are challenged by the organicity of outlines, while in its most raw state, the colors mixture affects a life on a preestablished plan. Broto invents an infinity space inside the defined surface painting, by letting see the antagonism and the celebration of his mental landscape. In that process, the contradiction is transformed into harmony.
