Jesús Rafael Soto

Jesús Rafael Soto, a Venezuelan Op and Kinetic painter and sculptor, was well-known for large-scale geometric works that create optical movement. He employed industrial and synthetic materials such as steel and nylon to produce his trademark sculptures.

Jesús was the oldest of four children born to Emma Soto and Luis Garcia Parra. From a young age, Jesús wanted to help support his family, but art was the most interesting thing to him. He began recreating famous art he found in various books and magazines.

In 1939, at age 16, Jesús started his serious artistic career when he began to create and paint posters for cinemas. In 1942, Jesús received a scholarship to study artistic training at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Artes Aplicadas in Caracas. He finished his studies in 1947.

In the 1950s Jesús started to experiment with serial art: art in which uniform elements or objects were assembled in accordance with strict modular principles. His next step was incorporating time and real movement into his pieces. Pictured: Harmonie transformable.

In 1955, Jesús participated in the exhibition Le Mouvement which prompted discussion about kinetic art – art in which movement is a basic element – and the Kinetic Art movement.

In the mid-1950s and early 1960s, starting from his concept of time, matter, and space, Jesús structured the conceptual platform of his “plastic language.” He experimented with kinetic and linear construction, and by the 1960s, Jesús was working exclusively with lines and movement. Pictured: Doble progresion azul y negra.

Jesús Rafael Soto is best-known for his so-called Pénétrables – enormous exhibit works that are remarkable for their illusions of sensory vibrations that invite the spectator to participate in the work. In his lifetime, he created over 25 Pénétrables. Pictured: Pénétrable BBL bleu.

“With his Pénétrables, people were no longer outside the work. Soto successfully created artworks that connect directly with the people… He considered viewers as potential collaborators… The notion that people are essential in any artwork made his work a success.”

Isabella Despujols, Venezuelan, @isabelladespujols ___ “Isabella Despujols desenvolve seu trabalho na interseção entre geometria e bordado. Na mão da artista a coreografia da agulha com a linha desenha um universo de figuras geométricas com modulações de cores.

He began his artistic career as a boy painting cinema posters in his native city. He received his artistic training at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Artes Aplicadas in Caracas Soto directed the Escuela de Artes Plasticas in Maracaibo from 1947 to 1950, when he left for Paris and began associating with Yaacov Agam, Jean Tinguely, Victor Vasarely, and other artists connected with the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles and the Galerie Denise René. Soto's breakthrough works of the 1950s and 1960s were "geometric abstract paintings, using a limited and carefully selected array of flat colors."Caroni, for example, is a minimalist arrangement of static geometric forms in unmodulated silver, blue, and black inks on white paper.

reading: wk5-6

helloooo wow it’s been a while! my absence is due to spending a week almost solid on social media promo & technical prep for my charity’s conference, which happened last weekend (feb 6-7) and which i am still in awe of. we had such an incredible range of speakers speaking on all areas of refugee & migration issues; i am so humbled to have been a part of it, and to have chaired the mental health panel with 3 doctors whose work i admire so incredibly. a true honour. discussion post pending once i get all my thoughts straight (or at least more digestible!).

anyways, readings-wise, this won’t be complete as i have a lot of stuff to read after the conference but ! u get the idea. i’m doing well on my mission to read more books, which is nice!

degree-wise, i’ve finished my orthopaedics/trauma/emergency rotation (goodbye my one true love, the resus bay!!) and am about to move onto my general practice/derm/palliative block. hyped for GP and to expand my skillset; really not hyped for derm...also lots of other tasks pending: lgbtq+ issues to work on fixing at my med school + we (medact in my local area) want to run some “patients not passports” training on the hostile environment in uk healthcare for my fellow med students, which i’m impossibly behind on the organisation for...i really lived & breathed this conference y’all. plus we’re about to start the meta-analysis portion of our systematic review, which is exciting!!! vv keen to see the results of this bad boy.

BOOKS

✩ the secret history // tartt (finished)

✩ sudden traveller // hall (in progress)

LITERATURE

✩ The Doubling of Self: An Interview with Richard Siken - Peter Mishler, Tin House from 2014. absolutely go OFF richard - this interview was beautiful. i will be re-reading. fave moments: - “It seems to me that everything in the world is actively trying to kill everything else in the world, on every level, and always has.” - “I loved it when I first discovered work that had concerns other than plot...Attention to language was important, they assured. It was electrifying.” !!!! - “I’m interested in the way we gather knowledge. The Socratic method—rhetoric: questioning and debating—has been crucial to our understanding. The scientific method—hypothesizing, testing, measuring—has also been crucial. And then there’s the artistic method—evoking, provoking, suggesting—which is just as crucial but consistently underused. These are both the modes, as well as the subjects, of the poems.” i’m so emo....richard!!!

ARTICLES: WORLD NEWS i’ve read a huge number of articles on us politics, covid vaccines, and covid drugs; i will not subject myself to writing them all out lol.

✩ Covid: We could live with virus 'like we do flu' by end of year, says Hancock - BBC i agree that covid-zero is not feasible, especially when our govt has so roundly fucked up our response; i can imagine this is not going to be a popular take but i feel like people also do not realise just how many deaths we have from influenza each year in the uk. the new data for tocilizumab are really interesting, as is 14 million people vaccinated - progress! now just to get everyone jabbed before the damn thing mutates thanks to the selection pressure of the vaccine!!

MEDICINE similarly i’m not going to list all the stuff i’ve read about covid vaccines; suffice to say i’ve read a lot!

✩ 10 steps before you refer for palpitations - Wolff & Cowan (2009) this made me smile: “This symptom [palpitations] often causes considerable distress and anxiety for the patient and can evoke a similar feeling in the consulted healthcare professional.”

✩ An Italian doctor explains “Syndrome K,” the fake disease he invented to save Jews from the Nazis - Caitlin Hu, Quartz this gave me chills - stories like this about healthcare professionals always do. i hope fervently that i would do the same for my patients if it came to it.

✩ Inflammation and immunity in schizophrenia: implications for pathophysiology and treatment - Khandaker et al. (2015), The Lancet Psychiatry so so interested in this field. this is what made me consider psychiatry seriously back in first year of med school (previously i ruled it out due to my constitution).

✩ Schizophrenia risk from complex variation of complement component 4 - Sekar et al. (2016), Nature

✩ Control of infectious diseases in refugee and displaced populations in developing countries - Paquet & Hanquet (1998), Bulletin de l’Institut Pasteur i wrote up a post on refugees/asylum seekers and the myth that they bring infectious diseases into countries, hence all the refs!

✩ Do migrants have a mortality advantage? - Borhade & Dey (2018), The Lancet

✩ Migrant Mortality, Healthy Migrant Effect - Razum (2008)

✩ Poorer self-perceived health among migrants and ethnic minorities versus the majority population in Europe: a systematic review - Nielsen & Krasnik (2010), Int J Public Health

OP-ED/ESSAY & HUMANITARIAN

✩ What a picture of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a bikini tells us about the disturbing future of AI - Arwa Mahdawi, Guardian

✩ Becoming Anne Frank - Dara Horn, Smithsonian Mag

✩ Yemen’s Houthis – and why they’re not simply a proxy of Iran - Vincent Durac, The Conversation vv interesting!! a must-read given the current media framing of the yemeni crisis.

✩ Ten humanitarian crises and trends to watch in 2021 - New Humanitarian really great article - lots of links to read!

✩ Snatched from a beach to train North Korea's spies - Rebecca Seales & Hideharu Tamura, BBC i cried reading this.

✩ Biden cancels Houthi terror designation, restoring Yemen aid - Reuters via the Guardian

✩ Yemenis give cautious welcome to US shift in policy on conflict - Bethan McKernan, Guardian initially i was v positive on reading this headline; however, the US won’t end ‘defensive support’ for riyadh, which...how much will materially change. i really really hope a lot, but they really need to end defensive support too bc otherwise i believe that many more attacks by the saudi-led coalition will be construed as ‘defensive’ moves rather than offensive! also, wtf @ uk govt: step the fuck up and do the same.

✩ Colombia Makes ‘Historic’ Decision to Grant Legal Status to 1.7 Million Venezuelan Migrants - Julie Turkewitz, New York Times

PODCASTS/TV i have consumed relatively little tv this week!

✩ Declarations: The Human Rights Podcast have been listening to quite a lot of this over the last week - a speaker at our conference was v involved in this. a lot of interesting viewpoints - cannot recommend chase madar’s episode enough. i’m in love. obsessed. finally someone as cynical and as focused on the raw compassion of human rights as opposed to their legality/sexy foreign policy aspect as me!! marry me @ mr madar pls.

The square, and geometrical figures in general, are purely the invention of the human spirit, distinctly intellectual creations, and what particularly interests me about them is that they don't have a’ specific dimension…a geometric shape can be infinitely small or infinitely large, it doesn’t have measurable limitations and thus completely escapes the traditional anthropocentrism of Western art.” (Jesús Rafael Soto, Jesús Soto: In Conversation with Ariel Jiménez, New York, 2011, p. 45) DAMIEN HIRST [BRITISH B.1965]TricaprylinHousehold gloss on canvasEstimated: $120,000 - $140,000 “I often get asked about the spot paintings… they have nothing to do with Richter or Poons or Bridget Riley or Albers or even Op. They’re about the urge or the need to be a painter above and beyond the object of a painting. I’ve often said that they are like sculptures of paintings. I started them as an endless series like a sculptural idea of a painter (myself). A scientific approach to painting in a similar way to the drug companies’ scientific approach to life. Art doesn’t purport to have all the answers; the drug companies do. Hence the title of the series, The Pharmaceutical Paintings, and the individual titles of the paintings themselves… Art is like medicine – it can heal. Yet I’ve always been amazed at how many people believe in medicine but don’t believe in art, without questioning either.” (Damien Hirst, “On Dumb Painting”, I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, With Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now, p. 246) OMAR RAYO [COLOMBIAN 1928 - 2010]Cautos Cactus IIAcrylic on canvasEstimated: $40,000 - $50,000 Born in 1928 in Roldanillo, a small town nestled in the department of Valle del Cauca, Omar Rayo emerged to shape the Colombian arts landscape during much of the last century.

My work comes from many sources: Etruscan art, pre-Columbian art, popular art…it’s a mix. Like a cocktail formed in one artist’s mind.
