| Your Personal Biography |
Juan Kancepolski was born in Buenos Aires, on 25 November, 1931.
Very soon at eleven he started learning drawing with Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida’s disciple, José Soriano Torrejón, being at this early age his restoration assistant for the Spanish Embassy.
At thirteen he entered the National School of Fine Arts.
Subsequently his relationship with the masters Juan C. Castagnino, Miguel C. Victorica, Lino E. Spilimbergo, Emilio Pettoruti and Lucio Fontana contributed to the ripening of his personal conception of the shapes in space.
In Europe he deepens in the knowledge of the great masters, antique and contemporary. A complex technical command results from his constant labour in pursuit of a unique language which identifies and distinguishes him.
Light plays a predominant role in the metaphorical game of the lyric and music-reflected images, determined by manifold structures. His potent management of contrasts joined to a subtle elaboration of transparencies, inherently intertwined with his distinctive chromatism, make this maestro an authentic magician in the mastery of the plastic and expressive means.
The significant exhibitions he has held abroad have gained him international recognition, having been invited by the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts to participate in 2001 in the Salon International des Beaux Arts held at the Salle Le Nôtre of the Louvre Museum. He holds more than fifty individual exhibitions in outstanding galleries in Latin America, United States of America and Europe due to his prolific work. He is represented in important private collections and national and international museums, in Spain, France, the Netherlands and Israel; in Uruguay, and in Brazil, Museum of Modern Art Rio de Janeiro and A. Bloch Collection; and in the United States of America, Samuel T. Pees Museum, New York, New Jersey, Florida.
His works have been studied by distinguished critics and arts historians, in Argentina, Eduardo Baliari, León Benarós, Angel Bonomini, Romualdo Brughetti, Héctor Cartier,
Osiris Chierico, Jorge Feinsilber, Aldo Galli, Mario Gilardoni, César Magrini; Uruguay: Angela Cáceres, Daniel Alvarez, María Rosa Atella, Ildefonso Beceiro, Elisa Roubaud, Eduardo Vernaza; Brazil: Hélio Carneiro, Jesualdo Correia; U.S.A.: Gary Wykoff.
Kancepolski’s painting does not stop at the conformation of a localist language. His works, founded in the wide spaces of the universal and the everlasting, recreate a visual language which brings us nearer to the infinite.
