1999 conchiglia olio su tela 50X70
Granetto links himself whith that particular lateral
expressiveness, which has consolidated itself in the material
tonalism of the great Venetian painting. It has provided a latent
language to all the Spanish painting, from Greco to the early
Picasso, from the Flemmings, French impressionists, German
expressonists, to the complex experience of Turner and Bacon. It
is the kind painting which abolishes any theological or
idealistic absolute from the relationship, between matter and
thought, whether this is derived from the Roman humanist
tradition, from Pompei to Pontormo, retaken in our age by all
that painting strongly motivated by a need to programme, like De
Chirico's metaphisics, Ernst's surrealism, the sociology of
Sironi or Leger, up to the recent phenomena of American
hyper-realism or italian anachronism; or derived from the
experience of a Cartesian mechanistic mentality, faithful to the
utopic idea of progress like in futuristic experiences,
Mondrian's phobic equilibrium, Duchamp's nihilist conceptualism,
etc.
This type of Painting in principle eludes any centralization, to
establish between itself and the world, an extremely mobile
system or swings, able to renew itself within the continous
stratification of experiences and solicitations, internal and
external to it.
The signs which are recognizable in this kind of painnting are, a
picture which is always trying to escape from itself, a
discontinuous and vibrant colour, never peremptorius, a
lightdfisingaged from the rigid relationship it has with its
shadows.
A materiality which conditions the subjectivity of its
manipulator. A symbolic system constructed like one of Bach's
suite, where the variations of the formal scheme that contains
them are more important.
An idealistic tendency always prepared to receive a ciarification
of the doubt, to discern the reverse of the medal, to reveal
itself. A breadth which is not reduceable to a particular
historical age or any chronicle needs.
A suffered and acrobatic resonance with mutations of civilization
and finally a profound irritation with rhetoric.
