Tarragona, 1943.
The work of Joaquim Chancho has been characterised by a rigorous structural awareness, by spatial orders, by chromatic links and by the expressiveness that emerges from metrics and reiteration. His first works, at the beginning of the seventies, are based on the dialogue between gesture and geometry and the reduction of colour to black and white. Later he tends to seriality and sequentiality, to focus in the last years on the surface of the painting as pure abstraction. Paths that reach a complex reticular organization that attends to a polyhedral vision of space, creating a set of wefts and reticules that intertwine, open, close, expand, contract, reduce, superimpose and modify continuously. A kind of fold between the painting and the spectator.
At present he revises and resituates his previous work, mainly in the work on paper.
