Shades of Red,  Sombra de Rojo , 2018

64 x 216 Inches

Wood cubes on Plywood, water-based Liquitex

​

​Shades of Red is composed of wood panels layered with woodblocks and two tones of red drawn from the American and Mexican flags. Grid-based configurations form an imaginary cityscape as the two reds gradually blend and blur into one another. Their convergence suggests harmony and balance, proposing an alternative model for the relationship between two nations.

​

...In visual perception, a color is almost never seen as it really is - as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art
