Every painting demands time: each gaze uncovers relationships that the previous one had not perceived. In the works of Inés Medina, the forms appear to be organized with evident clarity. Yet this apparent transparency is the result of rigorous research into the possibilities of perception and measure. What we see is not merely a composition on a flat surface, but the construction of a space that tests the limits of our gaze.
This exhibition brings together drawings, collages and paintings made between 1978 and 1995, a decisive period in Medina's career. Through her works it is possible to follow an investigation that starts from the most basic elements of the visual language –the line, the point and the primary colours– to explore how a two-dimensional surface can produce an experience of depth.
