Juan Carlos Amador places a creative emphasis on
the concept of color. The Puerto Rican artist revives the Neo-impressionist
painting methods of divisionism with his contemporary paintings. His recent
large scale abstractions exhibit his unique divisionist style and focus on
optical combinations of color. His paintings differ from the application of
small dabs of pure color to large patches of light washed pigments in oval
shapes onto the canvas. Amador layers these translucent colors over each other
as a means to create a medley of different hues. The viewer’s appreciation of
the works is based on their individual and biological capacity to perceive
color instantly and interpret introspectively. Unburdened by a specific narrative
or message, the artwork is consequently polysemantic; It depends on the
intrinsic meaning and comprehension of each spectator.
