Jesús Soto: Paris and Beyond, 1950-1970

Event Description

A key figure of the Paris avant-garde in the 1950s and ’60s, Jesús Soto (1923–2005), a Venezuelan born in the provincial capital of Cuidad Bolívar, is widely recognized for his groundbreaking innovations in color theory, serial composition, and movement in art. Less well-known is the wide range of styles and mediums that he explored early on. Drawing inspiration from optics and serial music, Soto employed repeating geometric forms and superimposed surfaces to convey a sense of physical displacement. In deconstructing the notion of stability, Soto radically transformed the relation between object and audience. Encouraging viewers to interact physically with his work, Soto engages them as active participants in the process of perception.
