MAY 2013. GEGO SOBRE PAPEL. EL TRAZO TRANSPARENTE. MUSEO CARLOS CRUZ DIEZ

From a selection of graphic works in the collection of Fundación de Museos Nacionales and those in the custody of Fundación Gego, the public could enjoy the results of Gego’s work in prestigious workshops such as the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles, California, as well as Gego’s contribution to the knowledge and execution of different techniques at the Taller de Artistas Gráficos Asociados (TAGA) in Caracas. It was also an opportunity to enjoy some of her drawings, inks and watercolors.

According to its curator, Constanza de Rogatis, the proposal of this exhibition “Gego sobre papel. El Trazo Transparente” “surges from the idea of finding out how the characteristics of the various techniques determined Gego’s approach to the work in her drawings and graphic works. Thus, the artist would develop groups of pieces in which the alternation of shapes, matter and color would unveil rich and surprising variants according to the characteristics of each medium, while being faithful to the search for transparence, a constant in the corpus of her work.
