This silkscreen print by Jesus Rafael Soto presents a captivating geometric design dominated by squares of black, blue, yellow, and gray, arranged with striking symmetry. The cross-like configuration is not new; it echoes back to the ancient symbol of the cosmos, a visual manifestation found across cultures from early Christianity to the Mayans. Each variation imbued with its own story, a dance of light and shadow that can be likened to the human psyche itself. In Soto’s hands, the cross is distilled. It is reborn as a vibrant emblem of modernity. The solid blocks of color evoke a primal response. The artwork is a powerful reminder of how symbols are never truly static, and how our collective memory shapes their continuous reinvention.
