Untitled 1972

Here we see an untitled work by Soledad Sevilla, featuring a stark contrast of black and white in what appears to be paint on canvas. The geometric precision of the design captivates the eye, compelling us to explore its visual structure. The composition is dominated by a grid-like pattern. This design evokes a sense of order, yet it subtly destabilizes fixed perspective. The interplay between positive and negative space creates an optical vibration, challenging our perception. The repetitive module hints at the artist's engagement with structuralist principles. It's a semiotic system where the white lines act as signs, forming a language of geometric shapes. Sevilla prompts us to question how such visual language can be both rigid and fluid. The formal elegance of this work transcends mere decoration; it invites us to ponder how repetition, pattern, and stark contrast can articulate new ways of perceiving space and form.
