Tick Tock, the metronome keeps time, like the throbbing pulse of artistic inspiration. Jorge Wellesley-Bourke (b. Havana, Cuba, 1979) plays with words, images, and sound, noting that his series My Work Should Be ...comes from his obsessive investigation of the relationship between Truth, Reality and Language. The artist says “Each piece of the series is an adjective of how I would like my work to be. The most important thing in this idea is to take from the cultural references of the viewer the most creative thinking possible. [In each work] there are two antagonistic parts: text and image. Each one of them is a fragmented information that is complemented by the other to draw a word. For example, “Sensible” (translated to mean “Sensitive”) and “Contemporanea” (translated to mean “Contemporary”). In “Sensible” the treble clef and note completes the word that shows up as an appreciation of the art, that is indeed the sense of the whole series, while “Contemporanea” describes my work as I would like it to be, here, using the metronome that metaphorically sets the tempo for seeing contemporary reality. The artist says “Language is an abstraction like music - its sound can convey more than its own meaning.”
