Many outstanding paintings insist on conversations with their viewers as well as with themselves, taking the viewer into silent dialogues of stimulation and response. “The Discussion” seems to have been created expressly for these dialogues.

A painting that makes us want to join the talking or listening going on within its frame, for which we do not need words to feel an immediate sympathy. Because that sympathy is wordless, it is also timeless. Jose John Santos’ paintings remain haunting and fantastic, and are always governed by thought. In many of his outputs, he challenges his viewer’s intellect and assumptionsabout reality by putting forward his subconscious impulses and conjunctions of seemingly unrelated objects: two cups to magnify the voices perhaps, a picture of a late 1920s car, a mall ladder - which surreally gives new meanings to familiar things.
