\"a)
\nAvui \u00e9s el solstici d’estiu. Els habitants de la Mediterr\u00e0nia Occidental es preparen per fer coses a escrot ple: saltar fogueres, tirar petards i things like that<\/em>. En l’interval ens citem Marc O’Callaghan i un servidor. Nom\u00e9s cal dir, per estalviar-nos les presentacions, que O’Callaghan \u00e9s el jove de vint anys menys petulant que conec en el panorama creatiu barcelon\u00ed. Rara avis la seva, per cert. Em figuro que ser\u00e0 temptador l\u2019inc\u00f3rrer en relliscades d’autosufici\u00e8ncia quan acabes de participar al S\u00f3nar, has fet una estada a la MittelCatalunya<\/em> (Ecl\u00edptica, Castelltallat, Barcelona) i a Google apareixen coses com \u00ablocal under star\u00bb<\/em> quan tecleges algun dels teus pseud\u00f2nims. Per afegir major grau de dificultat a la prudent mod\u00e8stia de l’artista, les seves creacions estan carregades fins les celles de refer\u00e8ncies paganes.<\/p>\n

A la seva p\u00e0gina web<\/a> apareix assegut en la posici\u00f3 del lotus fent (ni m\u00e9s ni menys que) la V de Mister Spock. Facin-se a la idea: \u00bfquants illuminati<\/em> perdonavides coneixen incapa\u00e7os de lletrejar els noms de les seves de\u00eftats preferides? O’Callaghan, profund coneixedor d’aquestes tradicions, a difer\u00e8ncia dels esmentats illuminati<\/em>, no es llen\u00e7a a la piscina aix\u00ed com aix\u00ed. Durant la nostra entrevista, els referents teol\u00f2gics van ser marca de la casa, no culpa del convidat. Entre cerveses i arrossos melosos, els noms propis van ser escassos, per\u00f2 ben lligats. O’Callaghan parla b\u00e9 sobre ma\u00e7oneria, sobre teosofia i sobre la mare dels ous. Davant refer\u00e8ncies d’aquest caire, en un altre context i amb un altre interlocutor, jo hagu\u00e9s arquejat de manera inevitable les celles, missatgeres d’una burla tan apropiada com imminent. En aquest cas, prenc notes a la meva llibreta.<\/p>\n

Perdona, com s’escriu aix\u00f2? \u2014Ge, U, E, Ene, O, Ene\u2014 lletreja per a mi O’Callaghan.<\/p>\n

Des de 2009 O’Callaghan s’ha assegut sobre els seus genolls el g\u00e8nere del dibuix, ha descobert la seva amargor, ha injuriat papers i parets per parts iguals. Parlem de forma figurada del proc\u00e9s creatiu que ha portat a aquest antic estudiant de Belles Arts a la consolidaci\u00f3 en el m\u00f3n underground barcelon\u00ed. I m\u00e9s enll\u00e0 d’aquest, tenen el seu bloc. All\u00e0 penja des de fa temps il\u00b7lustracions que despr\u00e9s acaben impreses en fanzines o sobre murals; hi ha qui s’ha llan\u00e7at a tatuar-se les b\u00e8sties alades d’O’Callaghan, \u00e9s clar. Les seves figures rosa fluorescent poden trobar-se per igual en salons del c\u00f2mic com a les parets de la seva mancomunitat; aix\u00f2 \u00faltim encara no ha succe\u00eft, excepte per alguna extensi\u00f3 del temple a algun terrat privat, per\u00f2 O’Callaghan em va assegurar que prendria en consideraci\u00f3 el format creatiu del graffiti en el futur. I \u00e9s que la lasc\u00edvia que transmeten les calaveres i els dimonis d\u2019O\u2019Callaghan resulta molt (per\u00f2 que molt) apropiada per a l’espai p\u00fablic d’aquesta ciutat mediterr\u00e0niament habitada.<\/p>\n

Enginy a l’hora d’explotar l’espai no falta en les seves composicions, potser en exc\u00e9s bigarrades, per\u00f2 mai disposades de manera impr\u00f2pia. Una mica de caos mai va malament. Vegi\u2019s, per exemple, la conversi\u00f3 d’un endoll en una vagina que t\u00e9 lloc a ‘La construcci\u00f3 d’un temple’ (2011-12): “Una dim\u00f2nia ens ofereix la seva presa de contacte gr\u00e0cies a l’enginyosa (no tenim una altra paraula) transformaci\u00f3 d\u2019una habitaci\u00f3 d’estudiant en un lloc de pelegrinatge”. Una mica m\u00e9s enll\u00e0, al sostre de l’habitaci\u00f3, apareix ‘Mercuri crucificat’, amb una bombeta per tot penis. Per a qui no conegui la pe\u00e7a, estem parlant de quatre parets pintades seguint certs arquetips del zod\u00edac, d’acord amb la seg\u00fcent dial\u00e8ctica dels quatre elements naturals: la paret nord estaria dedicada a Saturn i a Apol\u00b7lo (foc), la paret oest a Mart (terra), la paret sud a Venus i Diana (aigua) i la paret est a J\u00fapiter (aire). Per\u00f2 deixem que el mateix artista s’expliqui:<\/p>\n

“La Construcci\u00f3 del Temple va ser un proc\u00e9s pict\u00f2ric que vaig dur a terme a la que va ser la meva habitaci\u00f3 durant un any, en un pis de lloguer compartit entre quatre persones. Els motius estan generats a partir de projectar imatges de pintures d’artistes reconeguts del passat sobre la paret, resseguint de forma molt sint\u00e8tica amb el pinzell les parts que m’interessaven -sobretot les anatomies- i afegint parts de la meva collita-com a caps de gos o cranis-.”<\/p>\n

\"b)<\/p>\n

Nom\u00e9s per rebaixar el discurs esot\u00e8ric, que tantes emb\u00f2lies genera en un cervell obstinadament materialista com el meu, O’Callaghan ens arrenca un somriure quan confessa que, durant la realitzaci\u00f3 de la pe\u00e7a, no va tenir altre aliment material que no fossin espaguetis i salsitxes crues Campofr\u00edo; en aquest prec\u00eds instant estem menjant una paella amb br\u00f2quil; ens rellepem com si f\u00f3ssim cabres de l’Infern pensant en temps pitjors. Meanwhile, no puc deixar d’associar el tra\u00e7 figuratiu d’O’Callaghan amb les composicions minimalistes de Haring: el mateix horror vacui de la \u201cMare De Totes Les Idolatries\u201d, la geometria de \u201cl’\u00daltim Dia\u201d o la conya de \u201c\u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2 \u03c3\u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc\u03c2\u201d es poden trobar en els contorns a guix tra\u00e7ats al metro pel grafiter i artista novaiorqu\u00e8s.<\/p>\n
