In a recent conversation during the last inauguration of Puig Gallery, an exciting proposal was raised by Gastón Puig: the realization of a geometric art exhibition. Some of the artists who were present at the time joined the initiative, giving rise to a spontaneous group made up of seven talented creators.
This exhibition, titled “Contemporary Geometries”, is not simply a thematic exhibition, but an in-depth exploration of the artists, their geometries and their individual ideas. In it, viewers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in various contemporary currents of Argentine painting and sculpture, admiring works that are part of highly relevant public and private collections.
One of the featured artists in this exhibition is Alejandro Gigli, whose geometry manages to articulate the architectural with the enigmatic. His work invites us to delve into other realities, challenging our perceptions and expanding our horizons.
For her part, Lorena Faccio presents a work in which the essential and refined visual elements, together with the apparently empty spaces, connect and stress the form, generating an intriguing game of “balance/imbalance”. It is at the exact point where the work emerges, captivating the viewer with its mystery and beauty.
Juan D’Lala, on the other hand, develops a geometry in which ingenuity predominates when constructing the image. Through the dialectic between real space and represented space, he seeks to find formal beauty, challenging our perception of reality.
In Loli Aldazabal’s paintings, it is possible to discover a metaphor about the search for balance and constant changes, which reflect her daily reflections. Her works invite us to reflect on our own relationship with the world in constant transformation.
The interaction with the work of Roger Mac Entyre is a unique experience for the viewer. His works explore modes of perception, presenting kinetic works with overlapping plots and various techniques. The active participation of the spectator awakens new dimensions and meanings in his creations.
María Torcello, a prominent sculptor in the show, uses wood as the main material for her works. Through organic movement, the synthesis of shapes and the subtle finish, she manages to create sculptures that evoke the mysterious, the invisible and the infinite, awakening a deep emotional connection with the viewer.
The work of María de la Vega, for her part, is the result of an internal search process, related to love, the images she finds in her daily meditations, spiritual and poetic aspects, as well as her own body and the world that surrounds her. Her works present manufactured ties that can change position according to the viewer’s intention, establishing a link not only with matter, but also with silence, emptiness, and the viewer’s internal and external space.
“Contemporary Geometries” is an open invitation to enjoy contemporary art in a place with its own style. The exhibition can be visited both in Jisu and at the headquarters of Puig Arte/ The Bunker at Mariquita Sánchez de Thompson 367, Puerto Madero. Visiting hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Monday, providing wide availability for art lovers.
