Julio Alonso - Integrative and experimental art
Entering Julio Alonso's work means approaching unconditionally or preconceived ideas of an encounter with the astonishing, the link between matter and sensory experience. To generate this interrelation, the artist works with all kinds of materials consistent with this integrative and experimental opening, thus creating sculptures in bronze, thermoplastics, fibroplastics, resins, objects and materials found and recycled, photoengraving, photo-bonding, installations and micro - facilities to present to the observer a concept and content. In his works, the transformation of the object takes precedence without losing its nature.
In his works, he expresses himself and at the same time seeks for the viewer to be confronted with something unusual, surprising and to arouse mixed feelings. The artist and his work are imbued with the thought of Joseph Beuys (plastic artist) in what he calls "social sculpture".
J. Alonso deals with issues such as violence, in particular gender-based violence, wars, scientific and technological advances and aspects related to post-human ethics. He does not remain indifferent to these events, but presents them with a certain concern for the viewer. Thus, his works cease to be "an artifice to become a work of art".
In his works, the context of complexity and chaos in which we are immersed is reflected. Julio is interested in the deepening of complexity, in the collective imagination, in understanding the world as an inseparable whole, past, present, future, as the philosopher Edgar Morin suggests. And continuing with the background that gives meaning to his work, he is inspired by the physicist David Bohn when he declares: "The past lives in the present as a form of implicit order". The two premises are fundamental and fill its work with content.
