The Venezuelan artist wrestles with the seeming rigidity of the grid in pursuit of something truly abstract.
Composed of a partially stretched canvas divided into 25 squares and filled with small sandbags on the inside,
Untitled (1971) is one of Venezuelan artist Eugenio Espinoza’s many unique variations on the grid. Playfully humorous and seriously inquisitive, Espinoza seems to accept as a challenge the art-historical proposition that the grid is “impervious to change.”[1] He takes the monochromatic gridded canvas and cuts it into pieces, fills it with organic materials, wraps it around human bodies, or lets it flow freely in the wind.
