Suite Eròtica 1982

Joan Ponc created "Suite Eròtica" using ink and watercolor on paper, materials associated with traditional draftsmanship rather than the high art of painting. Ponc's chosen media allows for a light and ephemeral touch, mirroring the delicate and intimate nature of the artwork's subject. The ink outlines and watercolor washes are applied with careful precision. The artist creates a dreamscape of erotic symbols, blurring the lines between figuration and abstraction. The layering of transparent washes gives depth to the composition, accentuating the interplay of light and shadow. Ponc’s technique evokes the spontaneity of drawing combined with the subtlety of painting. The choice of these materials underscores the intimate, personal quality of the work, as well as challenging conventional notions of artistic hierarchy. By focusing on materials and process, we gain a deeper appreciation of Ponc's artistry. The artist embraces the craft of image making as a means of exploring profound themes.
