Irlandart, Martinsburg, WV
Born in Bayamon Puerto Rico, July 4, 1974. Irlanda drew equal inspiration from his artistic mother and his father,an engineer.His father in particular engendered an interest in science,inspiring the young Irlanda to look into the principles behind spatial relationships to achive his visual aims. His artistic life initiated in the early ages, introducing in his artwork self taught learning and ideological knowledge from the classic-contemporary art as in the modern science.
Irlanda establishes a sub-physical hypersubrealism as a vocabulary reflecting a universe in which matter, charge, electromagnetism and other fields were just manifestations of an empty curved space. His paintings and sculptures breaks free from the chromatic primitivism of the Caribbean art . We can notice in his work a meticulous research of the simplicity of the unconscious making an analogy with the universe we are living. Stunning atmosphere is created when the artist manipulates time and space proportions formulating apparent contradictions and deep meditation.
Irlanda utilizes different kinds of art movements to manage his own statement, using subrealism like a royal way to the unconscious or cubism in the compression of time and information as any other visual description to demonstrate multiple dimensions simultaneously permitting the visual field travel in space and time
without any difficulty, communicating non-verbal information before is understood. Speed of light as a relative reference of human present state of mind, chromatic order of lecture from the eye to mind, dematerialization, materialization, levitation, etc. are only some of the themes analyzed by this artist that having no formal training in art had less to unlearn and more than a universe to create.
