FRANCISCO HUNG 1937-2001
Floating materials: A study could be made of the influence that the first rocket launches had on extraterrestrial space on a genre of spatial painting that, after the cosmonautic and astronautic essays undertaken by the Russians and North Americans, began to spread over many places of the planet. It could even be shown that the course of art, at least in its material-form relation, has changed substantially since then.Hung is the most eloquent and qualitatively speaking with what is counted in Venezuela, to explain this relationship that occurred especially in the gestural painting, within the framework of a conception that, exploring the space with an automatic technique, addressed the large formats to metaphorically reproduce the impact of the astronautics experiments, whose image, in the case of Hung, is abruptly cut off by the edges of the support, as if the work were the fragment of an event that extends beyond the painting, and from which we only saw in this one a central part.
