Chacón's work can be read as a visually narrated story of the problems of modern and contemporary painting. Throughout his career, genres and aesthetics intersect in his artistic output, with "pure" painting being invaded by theoretical art or transformed into an installation, and the most radical geometry sharing the stage with abstract expressionism.
This book is the most comprehensive edition dedicated to the artist, one of the main protagonists of contemporary Venezuelan and Latin American art. It contains critical texts by internationally and nationally recognized authors such as Jesús Fuenmayor, Dan Cameron, Nadja Rottner, and Félix Suazo. It also includes an extensive interview with the artist by graphic designer and curator Álvaro Sotillo and a detailed chronology by Israel Ortega and Leonor Solá.
Illustrated with many reproductions of his works and a selection of previously unpublished historical photographs, it is intended to become an essential bibliographic reference.
