Alejandro Corujeira: La luz fugaz (Fleeting light)
Cecilia Brunson Projects is pleased to present La luz fugaz (Fleeting light), the gallery’s third solo exhibition by Alejandro Corujeira (b. 1961, Argentina), featuring a new series of paintings produced in the last year. Corujeira’s artistic trajectory over more than thirty years has demonstrated the lyrical potential of abstract painting. These new works, delicate and almost illusory, approach a point of absolute abstraction, in ‘a commitment to the barely visible.’
Created following a period the artist spent in a monastery, this new body of work emerges from a point of intuition and absence of thought, forming organically and through a trained control over the subtleties of colour and translucency of paint. The paintings are an invitation to a meditative process, as our eyes accommodate to this near invisibility, as if adjusting to a new light. The effect is synaesthetic; visual elements such as form and colour seem subordinate to the sense of quiet and stillness achieved.
