THE EUPHORIA OF COLOR: CARLOS CRUZ-DIEZ IN GALLERIA CONTINUA
Galleria Continua presented in its Parisian space the Franco-Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez’s first solo exhibition The Euphoria of Color (L’euphorie de la couleur).
A major figure in contemporary art, a pioneer of kinetic art (1923-2019), Cruz-Diez is an undisputed master of color. Throughout his career, he has experimented with and developed a large number of proposals that have remained emblematic of his artistic language. In tune with the profound societal changes taking place around him, he dedicated himself to inventing a new body of work, exploring unconventional techniques and technologies that would play a decisive role in his approach.
Carlos Cruz-Diez was thirty-seven years old when, in 1960, he decided to leave Caracas and move to Paris with his family. After studying at the Académie des Beaux-Arts and a long spell as an illustrator, he chose the cultural vibrancy of Paris to pursue his investigation of perceptual-sensory dynamics.
The Euphoria of Color presents the highlights of Carlos Cruz-Diez’s artistic career, exploring his theory of color through some of his most emblematic works.
