Transchromie (from the exhibition "60/72: Douze Ans d'Art Contemporain en France") 1972

This is Carlos Cruz-Diez's 'Transchromie' from the exhibition "60/72: Douze Ans d'Art Contemporain en France", and what a beauty it is! It's a series of vibrant stripes that shift and flicker before your eyes. I imagine Cruz-Diez in his studio, experimenting with light and color, each stripe a careful decision, a moment of intuition captured in pigment. Look how the colors vibrate against each other—reds clash with greens, blues sing against yellows. Each stripe seems to hum with its own energy, creating a visual symphony. There's a wonderful sense of play here, of pushing boundaries and daring to see the world in a new way. It's something a bit like Bridget Riley and Op Art but with a Latin American twist. Painting is a conversation across time, a dialogue between artists who dare to dream in color. Cruz-Diez invites us to join that conversation, to explore the endless possibilities of seeing and feeling.
