Lygia Pape

Lygia Pape (7 April 1927 – 3 May 2004) was a Brazilian visual artist, sculptor, engraver, and filmmaker, who was a key figure in the Concrete movement and a later co-founder of the Neo-Concrete Movement in Brazil during the 1950s and 1960s. Along with Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, she was an important artist in the expansion of contemporary art in Brazil and pushed geometric art to include aspects of interaction and to engage with ethical and political themes.

I saw below at the Art Institute in Chicago recently, part of an exhibition of her prints.

Carmen Anzano

Carmen sees the world “as ‘shapes and threads’, elements from which she continues to weave new shapes and emotions. She interlaces string, thread and ribbon to generate surfaces with which she articulates spaces and configures a cosmos of lines and dynamic tensions. These lineal frameworks dominate together with a colour scheme at times vivid, intense and energetic, at others harmonious, subtle and mysterious.

Claudia de la Torre

Claudia de la Torre: Palimpsest at Miriam embodies the true character of this form through an interactive, site-specific installation that invites visitors to collectively produce the work over time. The work utilizes basic materials and prompts for engagement as the foundation for a performed drawing, print, and ultimately a publication.
