Xaquín Marín, baluarte do humor gráfico galego Por Francisco Puñal Suárez

O Farelo quere destacar o extraordinario valor da obra do galego Xaquín Marín nos seus debuxos, carteis, caricaturas, e libros editados, sobre todo pola súa humanidade, o seu compromiso político en defensa da xustiza social, da cultura galega, do seu idioma, e pola súa actitude coherente e permanente. Xaquín, con máis de catro décadas de traballo fecundo, é un baluarte do humor galego, da súa retranca, coa súa constante crítica a toda a falsedade de políticos corruptos, e aos valores hipócritas da sociedade.
A súa mirada cáustica e enxeñosa sempre queda expresada nos seus exquisitos debuxos, onde nos mostra a súa forza creadora e sinálanos asuntos sociais de importancia. Nese sentido, Xaquín Marín continúa a senda trazada por Castelao, Carlos Maside, e outros debuxantes galegos.

Tamén hai que mencionar a súa importante labor realizada á fronte do Museo do Humor de Fene onde Xaquín, co apoio do Concello e do alcalde Xosé María Rivera Arnoso, do BNG, anos atrás, realizou un meritorio traballo de divulgación e promoción do humor gráfico, deu a coñecer a obra de caricaturistas galegos, organizou durante anos as Xornadas de Humor onde se outorgaban os Premios Curuxas, e realizáronse numerosas actividades en escolas e institutos.
Xaquín Marín, é hora xa de proclamalo aos catro ventos, é un tesouro cultural, non só galego, senón universal. É un artista de corpo enteiro, aplaudido e querido non soamente en Galicia, senón en todos os lugares onde chegou a súa obra, polo seu inmenso talento, e por reflectir a vida mesma e temas da condición humana nas súas obras.

Como escribise Ramón Loureiro, “a súa obra fai mellores os nosos días, como a maxia dous seus debuxos e dous seus lenzos permite navegar entre as malas horas nunha barca de soños”.

17th International Editorial Cartoon Competition for Press Freedom

Dear fellow cartoonists and cartooning lovers,
Please find enclosed the call for entries to this year's contest.
Thank you in advance for your submission or for passing along this message.
Guy Badeaux
Jury president
Twitter: @CDN_WPF

Here are the rules and regulations:
1. The theme for the 17th International Editorial Cartoon Competition is: F for fake
Yesterday a global network with libertarian accents, has the Internet become a threat to democracies?
Corporate-funded think tanks and fake grassroots groups are now everywhere and consumers often have difficulty in finding the source of the “information” they disseminate.
The phenomenon is compounded by the fact that one doesn’t need to actually be where something is happening in order to report on it.
Many have also criticized the role of algorithms used by social networks in limiting debate by enclosing their users in ideological bubbles.
The term “fake news” has further been co-opted as a means of silencing legitimate journalism or criticism, and when confronted by verifiable facts, the term "alternative facts" has even been invoked.
2. Prizes: three prizes will be given: a first prize of $1000 plus a Certificate from Canadian UNESCO, second and third prizes of $500. All sums are in Canadian dollars. Ten additional cartoons will receive an ‘Award of Excellence,’ Regrettably no financial remuneration accompanies the Awards of Excellence.
3. Only one cartoon will be accepted from each cartoonist. It may be either in color or black and white and must not have won an award.
4. The size of the cartoon should not exceed A4; 21 by 29.2 cm; or 8.50 by 11 inches.
5. The name, address, telephone number and a short biography of the cartoonist must be included in the submission.
6. The Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom shall have the rights to use any of the cartoons entered in the Competition for promotion of our Editorial Cartoon Competition and World Press Freedom Day.
7. The winners of the Cartoon Competition will be announced at the World Press Freedom Day Luncheon held at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa, Canada on Tuesday May 2, 2017 as well as being advised by e-mail. The winner’s names and their cartoons will be posted on the CCWFP web site.
8. The winning cartoons will be exhibited at the luncheon.
The deadline for receipt of cartoons is 5p.m. GMT, Friday, March 31, 2017.
Send submissions by e-mail to : info@ccwpf-cclpm.ca (NOT at the present address)

Cartoons should be in jpeg format at 300 dpi

JOAQUÍN ALDEGUER Y SUS CARICATURAS PERSONALES Por Francisco Puñal Suárez

Para Joaquín Aldeguer López (Alicante, España, 1980) 2016 le ha dado varias satisfacciones, al estar centrado especialmente en la caricatura fisonómica, y ver galardonadas varias de sus obras: Primer Premio en el II Salón Internacional de Humor Gráfico de Pernambuco (SIHG-PE) (Brasil), con un dibujo de Aristóteles; Gran Premio y Mención de Honor del Salón Internacional de Humor Gráfico de Jaboatão de Guararapes, Brasil, (SIHG-PE), al captar a Usain Bolt y Rafa Nadal, respectivamente; y Mención de Honor en Gallarate 2016, Italia, con una obra de Woody Allen.

Aristoteles

Este nuevo representante de la caricatura personal, licenciado en Bellas Artes, fija su interés en la experimentación y la síntesis geométrica o minimalista, dándole gran importancia a la línea del dibujo, que hace a mano, sobre la mancha, y buscando la esencia del personaje, de esta forma vemos cómo utiliza rectas, círculos y óvalos.

Cervantes

“Siempre me llamaron la atención –expresa Joaquín- los dibujos y cuando veía cartones animados, historietas o cuentos, intentaba reproducir lo que había visto. No sabría decir cuándo empecé a hacer caricaturas, aunque desde pequeño me fijaba en las que veía en la prensa o en televisión e imagino que descubrí que tenía cierta facilidad y al ser un arte tan popular, el reconocimiento de los que tienes cerca y la propia satisfacción hicieron que me interesara más por esta disciplina. Poco a poco fui descubriendo cómo el hecho de analizar personajes e interpretar su fisonomía me permitía poder comunicar ideas o mi visión sobre ellos de una forma más sutil pero también directa. Me gusta interpretar lo que veo, no sólo personas, me gusta jugar con las formas, distorsionar, eliminar detalles superfluos, reordenar los rasgos o componentes... intentando que el personaje siga siendo reconocible (ya que si no perdería el principal valor o utilidad que tiene la caricatura)”.

Jim Morrison

“A la hora de afrontar una caricatura, -señala Joaquín- después de haber recopilado todo el material necesario (fotos, vídeos) que creo que reflejan bien la personalidad de la "víctima", analizo sus rasgos esenciales: su rostro, sus ojos y doy preferencia a un aspecto de su cara y veo cómo los demás se relacionan con él en cuanto a proporción, composición, posición, etc. Creo que lo más importante es captar qué hace reconocible y diferente al personaje, de los demás, destacar o enfatizar ese gesto o rasgo característico que lo hace único. El resto es cuestión de estilo y de buscar soluciones gráficas, que como dijo el maestro Carlos Nine (R.I.P.), son infinitas”.

Usain Bolt

“La caricatura premiada de Usain Bolt –añade- me dio mucho trabajo, porque sufrió diversos cambios. Ya solamente con la cara tuve que hacer varios bocetos para familiarizarme con el personaje y conseguir enfocarlo como quería. Fueron horas de trabajo hasta que se me ocurrió probar con una vista en perspectiva e intentar conseguir una imagen más impactante y dinámica. El resultado final también llevó bastante tiempo por la elección de los tonos de color, contraste, sombras y efectos, aunque lo que más tiempo me llevó fue la composición, esa obsesión que tengo a veces porque las líneas encajen, como si de un puzzle se tratara”. 

Nadal

“Desde hace relativamente poco me resulta muy interesante utilizar formas geométricas puras. Rectas, círculos, óvalos. Así que generalmente empiezo a jugar con estas formas a través de reglas y plantillas y en ocasiones utilizo el dibujo a mano, para colorear la obra final digitalmente o no” – finaliza. 

Madonna


Joaquín Aldeguer ha participado en varios concursos internacionales y sus trabajos se han publicado en diversos fanzines, diarios, y revistas independientes de España, Estados Unidos, Holanda y otros países.
Woody Allen
