ETERNAL ABSTRACTION

 

About

In celebration of Riveros’ (Colombian) contributions to geometric abstraction in Latin America, the Foundation Pablo Atrchugarry exhibits drawings, paintings, and sculptures in “Abstracción Eterna” (Eternal Abstraction), along with a never-before-done mural. . The exhibition  presents drawings, paintings and sculptures from the 1960s to 1970s, following his journey through Abstraction, Constructivism and Geometric Abstraction. These early investigations made by Riveros will be shown in tandem with paintings made as recently as 2017 from sketches the artist made during his time in Germany. In addition, the exhibition will realize a 1973 concept by Riveros for the first time as a large-scale mural. Activating the exterior of the Gallery building, the mural will serve as 5520 NE 4th Avenue’s first public artwork. Throughout his career, Jorge Riveros has devoted himself to maintaining the golden mean or golden ratio as his defining aesthetic principle. Abstracción Eterna explores the scope in which this aesthetic principle is applied through various mediums, colors and forms to generate a harmony that transcends language itself.     .
