Descripción de la Exposición

This exhibition features an installation by artist Magdalena Fernández. The work of Magdalena Fernández has been associated, not without reason, to one of the most effective Venezuelan artistic traditions: that of optical and geometric abstraction. The similarity between some of her seminal works and such precedents as the works of Jesús Soto, Gego, and Alejandro Otero inhabits the beautiful echoes of her creations, and while it is true that she is determined to inscribe them within the traditions that these artists have founded, it is also true that she has transformed them subtly but drastically. Light and movement are also fundamental aspects of Fernández s work. In some of her work, it is light which draws the geometric shapes and projects volumes that are neither static nor clearly delimitated. In some of her videos, the sharpness and definition of the geometric shapes is dissolved by the inner movement of those same lines, which transforms them into delicate, living, organic threads. In collaboration with The Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum, Florida.
