Perspetivas Aéreas 1970

This striking vision, titled "Perspetivas Aéreas" by Eduardo Nery, uses planes of color and bold architectural forms to create a kind of impossible space. I can only imagine Nery at his easel, stepping back, squinting, adjusting. What’s so cool is how the blocks of color—red, blue, and green—define a perspective that seems both logical and utterly dreamlike. It's like a stage set for a play that hasn't been written yet. The texture seems smooth, almost like graphic design, yet the hand of the painter is evident in the subtle shifts of tone. Those arches, for instance: each one slightly different, creating a rhythm that pulls you into the painting. The way the checkerboard floor recedes also reminds me of a De Chirico painting—a space of quiet anticipation. What I think is special about this painting is how Nery uses simple geometric forms to evoke a sense of wonder and mystery. Like what are these spaces? Is it a staircase to nowhere? Painters build on one another's ideas, and paintings like this help us see the world in new and unexpected ways.
