Shifting Planes: Op Explorations in Latin American Abstraction

“I don’t do anything—the light does it for me.”

— Luis Tomasello

 

“Movement was the ideal solution… and when I saw that light could offer me a solution and at the same time enable me to continue with my investigations, I concentrated on that theme.”

— Julio Le Parc

Leon Tovar Gallery is pleased to present Shifting Planes: Op Explorations in Latin American Abstraction, an exhibition spotlighting kinetic and optical experimentations by renowned artists Jesús Rafael Soto, Julio Le Parc, Omar Rayo, Francisco Salazar, Nedo, and Luis Tomasello. Spotlighting these genre-defining artists, creators of an abstract visual language in constant flux, the works presented here ultimately exhibit creativity freed from constraints. No longer limited to inertia, the viewer is invited to engage. The once static frame energized into endless welcoming and possibility.
