Carlos Cruz-Diez (1923–2019)
A master of kinetic and optical art, Cruz-Diez devoted his life to investigating the behavior of color and the perception of movement. His celebrated Physichromies activate with the viewer’s motion, transforming static geometry into a shifting chromatic experience that demands slow, careful observation.
Gabriel de la Mora (b. 1968, Colima, Mexico)
Educated in architecture (BA, Universidad Anáhuac del Norte, 1991) and photography and video (MFA, Pratt Institute, 2003), De la Mora transforms found, discarded, and obsolete materials through seemingly alchemic processes into exquisitely crafted objects. His works explore desire, surface tension, and the symbolic presence of loss embedded in the very materials he employs.
Gustavo Díaz (b. 1969)
Through a meticulous blend of hand drawing and digital precision, Díaz maps the behavior of complexity and chaos theory in delicate paper collages. Laser-cut and layered into lace-like structures, his works dazzle with their intricacy while evoking the invisible patterns of scientific thought.
Melanie Smith (b. 1965)
Working across painting, installation, and video, Smith examines perception and spatial instability. Her Psychoactive Renders—pigment on veneered wood panels—create subtle optical shifts that encourage viewers to look slowly and reconsider the boundary between reality and illusion.
Jorinde Voigt (b. 1977)
Voigt creates conceptual drawings that translate internal processes of thought, emotion, and sound into complex visual systems. Often inspired by music, her compositions merge gesture and calculation, generating poetic constellations of lines, numbers, and color.
Reynier Leyva Novo (b. 1983)
Novo’s conceptual practice engages history, politics, and collective memory. Using data, archives, and objects, he transforms intangible information into physical form, as in his installation Solid Void, which makes absence strikingly present.
