Alvaro Barrington. Thaddaeus Ropac Paris
The close relationship between visual art and music has been a foundational element of abstraction since the early 20th century, tracing back to Wassily Kandinsky‘s Compositions and Josef Albers’ interest in rhythm and harmony that informed his Homage to the Square series.
With these predecessors in mind, Alvaro Barrington revisits the history of modernism in a new series of square canvases made with textiles, on which he draws silhouettes against an abstract background.
