Descripción de la Exposición
Dot Fiftyone is delighted to present Graciela Hasper’s second show at the gallery. It comprises a selection of new works that include paintings, watercolors, ceramics, and site-specific installations.
Her recent paintings emphasize this reflective process within the geometric system (from the modern avant-garde to the contemporary neo-geometric movements); each piece is supposed to display a unique formal relation, always from the paradox of an objective painting, that is both emotional in its perception as well as playful.
The specific dimension of color is set in a well-balanced manner, leaving out any hint of violent gesturing to favor chromatic subtlety at the points of contact between shapes, among which the curved ones prevail. It is the reclaiming of clear and jubilant art that accepts universality without losing the connection to the regional genealogy of expansive painting in space or with the appeal to a viewer’s senses. From then on, it will not abandon the mystical framework or the angst before the absolute, which is one of the sensitive sources of abstraction.
Simultaneously with her paintings and installations, Hasper worked in ceramics in recent years. Some of those pieces can be associated with the geometrical and precarious shapes found in her watercolors, isolated in their volumes. Perhaps, the musicality of color in them — a feature of her aesthetic tenet — acquires the resonance of dreams that brings about the return to the origins of civilization.
Graciela Hasper’s works are represented in several significant art collections, including Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (CPPC), New York City, USA; The Diane and Bruce Halle Collection of Latin American Art, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Bahía Blanca (MAC), Argentina; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires (MACBA), Argentina; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Madrid, Spain; Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), Argentina; Museo Moderno, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes Juan B. Castagnino, Rosario, Argentina; Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires, Argentina; De La Cruz Collection, Miami, USA; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH); Telefónica Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania, USA.
In 2023 Graciela Hasper was appointed by Houston Moca on behalf of Bush Intercontinental Airport for Houston, TX by the city’s Civic Art Program and Houston Art Alliance to create a site-specific installation, proposed by Sicardi Ayers Bacino Gallery, for the new terminal of the Houston International Airport. Hasper is currently working in her new survey book to be published by Karen Marta Editorial Consulting New York..
