Cor-Luz 2008

Eduardo Nery created this vibrant artwork, Cor-Luz, using a grid of squares and a diverse colour palette. The initial impression is of a luminous checkerboard where warm hues dominate, punctuated by cooler greens and teals. Nery’s abstraction plays with our perception. The grid, a form often associated with order and rationality, here is energized by the variation in colour and texture within each square. These irregularities disrupt the grid’s inherent structure, creating a sense of movement and optical vibration. The title, "Cor-Luz," translates to "Colour-Light," hinting at Nery's focus on the interplay between these elements. This work challenges fixed meanings by merging structure with fluidity. The rigid grid meets the almost whimsical distribution of colour, inviting us to see how the formal elements of art can destabilize established categories of order and chaos, control and spontaneity. It compels us to consider how simple forms can generate complex and dynamic visual experiences.
