Couleur lumière 1993

Horacio Garcia-Rossi, an Argentinian artist, created this untitled artwork, a mesmerizing exploration of color and light. His practice emerged during a period of political turbulence in Latin America. Garcia-Rossi was interested in the dynamic interplay between visual perception and the surrounding environment. The radiant concentric circles, bisected by a vertical slit, vibrate with energy, creating an almost palpable sense of movement. This work draws on the idea that art can destabilize our certainties. In its use of minimalist forms, it breaks with traditional modes of representation. He invites us to question the nature of reality, and the ways in which we perceive it. The intense hues and geometric shapes evoke a sense of both harmony and disruption, reflecting the complex interplay of forces that shape our understanding of the world. It challenges us to confront our assumptions about what is real and what is illusion.
