lo innovador de estas maderas, Darié desafía la rigidez de la cuadrícula
llevando la forma y el color fuera del cuadro. Refiriéndose a Piet Mondrian, se
vale de ritmos sincopados en cuadrados y líneas de colores primarios insinuando
movimiento sobre la superficie de la obra. Darié, además, incluye realces en
los planos de la madera sobreponiendo círculos y triángulos a la estructura
ortogonal. Tales tácticas crean profundidad virtual llevando la composición al
espacio del observador.
ProvenanceThe artist; Serafina Nuñez Ortiz; [Ignacio Pedronzo, Sammer Gallery, Miami, 2017]; purchased by MFAH, 2018.
