| In the vast
ocean of the system of international art live immortal "souls",
they print out with class, determination, faith and fire of creativity
with an extraordinary and unique, so that none of us can have
the knowledge and awareness of the whole.
Arben Kucana
is for me a authentic "discovery" that brings a lot
of life.
Driven by my great friend Ziso Kamberaj who, before he is a
great artist is an extraordinary man who never ceases to express
the sign of true friendship to all the colleagues he respected
and in which he recognizes talent and wisdom. The painting by
Arben Kucana follows a quiet road and is also full of emotional
strain.
A trail that originated from karst caves, springs from deep
reflections and vibrations. This trail is carved into the matter
of his painting, reveal a transparent material, strong and thin,
pliable, immersed in the desire never to his needs as an artist.
A thick and thin material, permeated with different emotions,
which makes a connection between the mysteries of the depths.
It is an extraordinary story that comes and moves between events
that follow one another, delicate moments, gray areas, shadows
and light moments. (The cool tones are always accompanied by
a formal rigor, which honor the stationary receiver to the light.)
The light
has an important role in his creative history, it arises out
of matter, without being a slave to be accompanied to the geometric
shapes and is drawn with great emphasis on color. With the conversion
of light and its effect on matter wins the freedom of independent
expression.
The movement
of the various states and the expression of the paintings, the
work with a different intensity of color, varying stages of
illumination, change in rational emotive atmosphere and dynamics
of matter and the metamorphosis is a story that is told in his
paintings. It is a living matter, always ready to receive votes
and memories. It is in harmony with life and with the memory
of existence. In the matter of the paintings to combine all
the "voices" of the world and yet it is a different
matter, namely their own.
Arben Kucana's
work resembles the abstract tendency of 900 AD., Precisely the
one who gives the matter of the painting alone value, without
forcing him to imitate or mimic other materials. His painting
is based on an analytical gesture, a fast and geometric gesture,
calculated, studied, which arises from a deep impulse that always
accompanies the thought of a project that can live independently.
There is
a choice that encases the memory of the painting and creates
as he comes in contact with the material.
