Carlos Cruz-Diez: L’Euphorie de la Couleur
WHAT
The late Venezuelian artist (1923-2019) was a pioneering figure in kinetic art, renowned for the mastery of colour and the innovative exploration of perceptual-sensory dynamics. The exhibition features key pieces that represent pivotal moments in artist’s career. They explore the dissociation of form and colour, and highlights the experience of viewing as an integral part of the artistic journey.
WHY
The exhibition offers a profound insight into artist’s evolution and groundbreaking theories of colour through the presentation of works that demonstrate additive, reflective, and subtractive colour systems. The exhibition invites viewers to engage in a dialogue with Cruz-Diez’s chromatic environments, where colours shift and interact, revealing their dynamic and transformative nature. Based on the viewer’s movement and the play of light, viewing becomes an aesthetic experience of its own.
