Description

Hommage au carré. Full dialogues and plays with the series of Hommage au carré by Joseph Albers. According to Joseph Albers, the artist’s task is the revelation, the evocation, together with the knowledge of the vision with the aim of getting people to open their eyes (Interaction of Color, 1963). The squares proportions follow the golden ratio, establishing a link between architecture and painting in a way that is evocative of classic art. Here, the original artwork is turned upside down, to symbolize a dialectic overturned in contents: from abstract to figurative, from poetic imagination (synesthesia) to sense of appreciation of daily imaginary (butterfly that can be seen on the colours of a flower in a common green grass), from a closed composition to unexpected and spontaneous vitality (asymmetry). A game of contradictions and oppositions to give birth to thinking and revelations.
