Three decades"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I am a slow painter<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To think about an era is to look at what builds up around its edges: the debt owed to unresolved desires, the fatal insistence of everyday life, the impermanence of the forms and objects that make up its imaginary world. How does a particular moment take place on bodies? How does one time rest on another? An era\u2014or more specifically, a decade\u2014is also revealed in the reflection of lights on a street at dusk, in a face disfigured by the daze of memory, or in the desire to confirm the existence of things even when we know they are destined to disappear.<\/p>\n<p><i>Ricardo Yrarr\u00e1zaval. Three decades <\/i>brings together for the first time at Il Posto the pictorial practice of Chilean artist Ricardo Yrarr\u00e1zaval carried out between the early 1960s and the late 1980s. Based on works from different collections, the exhibition traces a journey through nearly thirty years of production. Returning to Yrarr\u00e1zaval&#8217;s work today means confronting figures and imaginaries that resist fixation. They express an archaic artificiality, where representation insists on approaching a simulated other: anonymous and displaced figures whose identities are lost on the canvas. These images allow us to trace an archaeology of masculinities: rigid and mysterious presences, subjected to the rules of the city and labor, which expose the fragility of their cosmetics as well as the power of their gazes. This body of work, this social novel and set of accumulated gestures, is sustained by disidentification and thus opens up a space for thinking difference. The pastiness of time in Yrarr\u00e1zaval, its accumulation and delay\u2014characteristic of both an era and a gaze\u2014are also the rhythm with which the artist practiced painting: with waiting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first decade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>How to survive the dullness<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 1960s have their origins in a journey. The third of a series of decisive trips in Yrarr\u00e1zaval&#8217;s formative years, during which the artist was able to continue his artistic education outside the schools and academies of Santiago. At the age of twenty\u2014after a forty-five-day voyage on a saltpeter freighter\u2014he settled first in Rome and then in Paris, cities where he trained and met Isabel, who would later become his wife. After returning to Santiago for a few years, he traveled again to France to further his studies in ceramics and later continued his studies in painting in London, in the home-studio of a painter who, during those same years, painted nocturnal atmospheres charged with mystery, rendered in rough and sad strokes.<\/p>\n<p>The years that were to come\u2014the turbulent and emerging decade of the 1960s\u2014would be marked by a third inaugural trip and would witness the development of a style of painting based on the experience of an artist trained in ceramics. In 1960, alone and aboard an old jeep, Yrarr\u00e1zaval embarked on a four-month journey through the Andean countries, approaching for the first time the vast and silent landscapes of the altiplano. He began in Mendoza, crossed the pampas and the desert of northern Argentina, and continued through Bolivia and Peru until he reached northern Chile. There, for the first time in person, he encountered the motifs that would set the tone, texture, and structure of his painting for the next ten years. Upon returning from this journey, he remained silent: three years passed before he picked up his brush again with determination. His first material and earthy paintings emerged, dark at first, but over time they began to open up to the dominant color of his later work. The titles of these works\u2014a kind of literature in the form of footnotes\u2014reveal the impact that the territory he visited had on him. <em>Attachement \u00e0 la Terre<\/em> (1964), the earliest work in this exhibition, presents a composition that moves naturally from the zenith to the front, where forms are not as important as the appearance of faint colors and the subtle differentiation between them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4682\" style=\"width: 238px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4682\" class=\"wp-image-4682 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-228x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-779x1024.jpg 779w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-114x150.jpg 114w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-768x1010.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-1168x1536.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-1558x2048.jpg 1558w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-913x1200.jpg 913w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-1200x1578.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Yrarrazaval-Ricardo-Attachement-a-la-Terre-scaled.jpg 1947w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4682\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Fig. 1.

Rather than an exercise in pictorial representation, their results were determined by the gesture of sculpting, inherited from his training as a ceramist. The \u201csensuality of these paintings\u201d comes precisely from this inflection of bodily molding on the pictorial surface. In their book <em>Chile Arte Actual<\/em>, Galaz and Ivelic stress this: \u201cThese technical procedures,\u201d the authors argue, \u201callow [Yrarr\u00e1zaval] to achieve intense corporeal forms that go beyond the purely visual level observed as surface, suggesting volumetric images that invite touch\u201d<sup class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote \" data-mfn=\"2\" data-mfn-post-scope=\"00000000535aac89000000002c898f54_4950\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"  role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-describedby=\"mfn-content-00000000535aac89000000002c898f54_4950-2\">2<\/a><\/sup><span id=\"mfn-content-00000000535aac89000000002c898f54_4950-2\" role=\"tooltip\" class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote__note\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mfn=\"2\">Gaspar Galaz and Milan Ivelic, <em>Chile.

It is not surprising, then, that these paintings did not find a place within the repertoire of work of the geometric avant-garde groups, which were at their peak in the 1960s. Rather than pursuing a \u201cdefined geometry,\u201d Yrarr\u00e1zaval&#8217;s quest was for a language capable of inhabiting the edges.<\/p>\n<p>The second half of the 1960s was marked by the visit to Santiago in September 1964 of Thomas Messer, then director of the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

In those pages, portrayed alongside other Latin American artists by the photographer accompanying Messer, Yrarr\u00e1zaval appears in his studio and at home. The black-and-white images show a patient and observant painter, but also one who is accompanied: Isabel, his wife, poses beside him with a lit cigarette between her fingers, or sitting on a sofa in the corner of the studio where he works. Her smile and the presence of their children convey a particular sense of affection.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4683\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4683\" class=\"wp-image-4683 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-4-1-scaled-e1758725520560-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-4-1-scaled-e1758725520560-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-4-1-scaled-e1758725520560-1024x665.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-4-1-scaled-e1758725520560-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-4-1-scaled-e1758725520560-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-4-1-scaled-e1758725520560.jpg 1182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4683\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4679\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4679\" class=\"wp-image-4679 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-3-scaled-e1758725443571-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-3-scaled-e1758725443571-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-3-scaled-e1758725443571-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-3-scaled-e1758725443571-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Catalogo-The-Emergent-Decade-Fotos-Yrarrazaval-3-scaled-e1758725443571.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4679\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Figs. 2 and 3.

The uniqueness of this urban experience and the emotional weight with which it transforms his painting allows him to stand out in the middle of a scene undergoing profound change.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4681\" style=\"width: 216px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4681\" class=\"wp-image-4681 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cinco-expresiones-206x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cinco-expresiones-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cinco-expresiones-103x150.jpg 103w, https:\/\/www.ilposto.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cinco-expresiones.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4681\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Fig. 8.

Available in Il Posto Archive <\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the midst of a city ravaged by death, these paintings appear like lost skins, emptied of substance and yet expectant of their future. In the silent search undertaken by Yrarr\u00e1zaval in the 1970s, gestures emerge as a tiny measure to record the pain, suffering, and shock of others and their impact on the artist himself. Each stroke contains the fragility of a displaced body and, at the same time, the obstinacy of a presence that refuses to disappear. Works such as <em>En el gimnasio<\/em> (\u201cIn the Gym\u201d) (1979) and <em>Retrato<\/em> (\u201cPortrait\u201d) (1979) encapsulate this tension: the gazes that appear there seem to close one era and, at the same time, inaugurate another.

In the letter, he told him about his recent exhibition at Galer\u00eda Pl\u00e1stica Tres, entitled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pintura <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(\u201cPainting\u201d). With deep sadness over the effect that the social context was having on his work, he mentioned the predominant gray color of the pieces. The subjects, he said, were \u201cthe men who try to create an artificial, distorted, false world. The men who, regardless of the means, seek power. Power that means bombs, war, pollution, hunger, hatred, the destruction of nature, the destruction of reality.\u201d And then the artist says, \u201cMy intention was to paint the reality we live in. I didn&#8217;t succeed&#8230; Reality is so powerful!

Yrarr\u00e1zaval had been familiar with this aesthetic since childhood, through the figure of his father, a stockbroker. Decades later, these codes of rigidity and anonymity resurface in his paintings as traces of a learned masculinity put into crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The paintings that Yrarr\u00e1zaval produced during this period\u2014the 1980s\u2014are displayed at Il Posto as a palimpsest of correspondences and gazes: faces with varying degrees of literalness, erasure, and material density. In his essay \u201cEst\u00e9tica del silencio\u201d, Pedro Celed\u00f3n focuses on <em>Estrategias y pron\u00f3sticos<\/em> (&#8220;Strategies and Forecasts&#8221;) (1983), one of the works included in this exhibition, to point out that \u201cthe pictorial response generates half-erased faces, as if a mist were superimposed on their humanity,\u201d and that \u201cthe contrast between the humanity of that blurred face and its metallic tie, absolutely defined, immaculate, becomes painful\u201d<sup class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote \" data-mfn=\"9\" data-mfn-post-scope=\"00000000535aac89000000002c898f54_4950\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"  role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-describedby=\"mfn-content-00000000535aac89000000002c898f54_4950-9\">9<\/a><\/sup><span id=\"mfn-content-00000000535aac89000000002c898f54_4950-9\" role=\"tooltip\" class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote__note\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mfn=\"9\">Pedro Celed\u00f3n, \u201cLa est\u00e9tica del silencio\u201d, in <em>Retrospectiva 50 a\u00f1os.

The back of a man walking away from us sums up, in a minimal gesture, the weight of an entire era. The decade closes with its own beginning: the impossibility of returning. Yrarr\u00e1zaval says it in words that resonate with his images: \u201cWhen I go downtown, I am very aware of the atmosphere in that bank, in that public office. I am intrigued by those men, cold, anonymous characters.
