Loriel Beltrán’s first solo presentation with Lehmann Maupin, Calor y Color (Heat and Color), explores the subject of light and how it is created, perceived, and materialized through vibrant color. Close inspection of his works reveals that congealed paint creates surfaces that ripple like water rather than drippings or brushwork. Beltrán pours diverse hues of paint into specially crafted molds and allows them to dry for extended periods. This laborious process is repeated numerous times over the course of months. Once the paint has fully settled, Beltrán slices open the canvas, revealing a tapestry of stratified bands of paint in mesmerizing layers of vivid color that seem to undulate and converge, forming an entirely new visual field.
The publication expressed belief that Apple could extend the screen size of the iMac 2021 since it currently features thick bezels with a large chin by not increasing the footprint of the device itself. It noted that the tech giant has done this before with the iPhone 12 mini having a larger screen than the iPhone SE.
The company could use that inspiration in bringing thinner bezels and narrow sides for the new iMac as the desktop is rumored to have a unique design based on the Pro Display XDR, which has a flat back and reduced borders.
According to Forbes, the upcoming iMac 2021 will ditch Intel and be powered by Apple Silicon s M1 chipset, found in the new versions of Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro launched in October 2020. It furthered that the new iMac will have the same power as the Mini, given that the numbers the chip was putting out in the smaller form factor.
