ABSTRACTION, COLOR AND DISPLAY AT GALERÍA DEL PASEO
Galería del Paseo presented Screen II, the solo exhibition of Uruguayan artist Guillermo García Cruz. It is curated by Max Hernández Calvo.
Curatorial text by Max Hernández Calvo.
The series “Screens” is a pictorial rethinking of the guidelines of Latin American geometric abstraction, formulated from the perspective of a screen, taking as a reference those devices that emit their own light, such as TVs, computers or cell phones. In his exploration with intense light and chromatic contrasts, the artist resorts for this series of works to a palette of RGB colors (red, green, blue), typical of the color light used in the screens, to which he adds black and white. His linear compositions present strips of flat colors that trace, concentrically, the same perimeter of the formats he uses. Thus, the compositions highlight the geometry of the contour that contains them, which is none other than an offset rectangle.
A series of brick sculptures continue his exploration, building bridges between the digital world and the material world and between the modern Westernized present and the pre-modern and pre-Columbian past. These pieces echo the adobes of the huacas (such as those of the Huaca Pucllana itself, in front of the gallery), but in them the “glitch” results in a fusion of volumes that are reiterated and superimposed, rather than a mismatch.
