Couleur lumière 1993

Horacio Garcia-Rossi made "Couleur lumière," an exploration of color and light that immediately draws you into its depths. The composition centers on a vertical, segmented green form, intersected by a luminous white circle, all set against concentric gradations of blue that create a sense of infinite space. The color, as the title suggests, is the key element here. Garcia-Rossi manipulates the green spectrum, moving from dark to light, to suggest movement and energy. The circle acts as both a frame and a point of contrast, its sharp line disrupting the softer gradients. This interplay can be interpreted through semiotics, where the circle may symbolize unity or enclosure, challenged by the penetrating green form. The dark background is not just empty space but an active component, pushing the lit elements forward, enhancing their visual impact. This emphasis on color and form reflects broader philosophical concerns about perception and how we construct meaning from what we see, leaving the viewer to ponder the interplay between light, color, and space.
