About the artwork
This work, evoking a saturated television image and a distorting mirror on the upper left, suggests a codification of the image. It unfolds each state of a digital figure through a luminous decomposition that gradually diminishes in color from the left to the right of the composition. Somewhere between art and science, this print is a representation of the invisible, akin to the decomposition of matter. The work's title, Optichromie 111, also reflects a scientific approach. Striving for rationality and precision, Felipe Pantone seems to code his artistic practice with infinite, constantly evolving combinations, which he himself describes as "leaps in space". Although this chaos is controlled, it breathes dynamism into his practice, which is rooted in geometric abstraction and the digital age. Felipe Pantone's practice follows in the footsteps of the great currents of the 70s, kinetic and optical art, which explore the workings of vision through illusions and optical games.
Expert opinion
This edition is characteristic of Felipe Pantone's artistic language, through an almost scientific exploration of light waves, questioning the materiality of the digital world.
About the artist
Born in Buenos Aires in 1986, Felipe Pantone is an Argentinian-Spanish artist who lives and works in Valencia, Spain. Initially drawn to graffiti, he studied Fine Arts in Valencia, where he graduated. His artistic practice explores movement, transformation and the digital, standing at the junction between an analog past and a digital future. Felipe Pantone approaches contemporary subjects using a scientific prism, superimposing and repeating geometric shapes, optical patterns and light spectra to create a form of abstraction inspired by kinetic artists such as Victor Vasarely and Carlos Cruz-Diez. Following in the latter's footsteps, he takes on projects in public spaces, embellishing walls, vehicles and even barges. Exhibited in renowned institutions such as the Long Beach Museum in the USA and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, his work has also found its way into galleries such as the Danysz Gallery in Paris and Shanghai, and the Underdogs Gallery in Lisbon.
