Descripción de la Exposición The origin of Alicia Luján's geometric work dates back to the presentation of an artwork, Quasi Negro, based on which ? somehow as a sort of 'remake', since it is no longer in her possession ? she has painted for the present exhibition the piece Quasi Negro 6. This is a remarkable composition in which the vertical areas in white ? the light ? and black ? darkness ? intervene in a set of squares and rectangles in restrained colors containing one another, making way for an interaction of planes. This work, originating in the need to paint in very dark, almost black tones that the artist experienced after her mother's death, is the result of her dialogue with the work of Ad Reinhardt, who had such a strong influence on Minimalism, particularly through those black paintings he was certain would be 'the last paintings'. But equally distant from that 'art as art' which the New York artist proclaimed, in the past couple of years Alicia has gradually discovered the possibilities of a geometric art whose construction is based on a digital matrix, including in the first place the production of the entire compositional design on a computer, and whose process of canvas printing and painting is indissoluble from the mentioned notion of transition, linked to the space of passage.
