Situated Geometries: Fanny Sanín and Felipe Mujica
-
Opening Reception: Monday November 30, 6-10pm
Situated Geometries brings together artists Fanny Sanín (b. 1938) and Felipe Mujica (b. 1974) in an intergenerational dialogue that explores the enduring vitality of geometric abstraction and its capacity for continual reinvention.
Both artists approach geometry as a generative language in which structure and experimentation are inseparable. Sanín’s paintings and works on paper explore the expressive possibilities of symmetry, proportion, and color, transforming rigorous compositional systems into fields of visual intensity and contemplative experience. Mujica, through painted and cut-paper compositions and embroidered textiles, extends geometric structures beyond the pictorial plane into architectural space, where movement, material processes, and the viewer’s shifting perspective become integral to the work.
Rather than tracing a relationship of influence or a linear evolution of abstraction, the exhibition examines how two distinct artistic practices reinterpret and transform a shared geometric vocabulary. In the dialogue between Sanín’s concentrated pictorial structures and Mujica’s expanded spatial investigations, geometry emerges not as a fixed or self-contained system, but as an evolving field of experimentation shaped by material processes, spatial relationships, and acts of perception.
Together, their works affirm the continuing vitality of geometric abstraction as an artistic language in which discipline and openness, precision and intuition, are not opposing forces but complementary dimensions of creative inquiry.
