The Language of Color, Carolina Guillermet, Solo Exhibition

"I believe in the meditative construction of the visible and, in the approach to color, I see

a possibility of playing with affections that are not restricted by an excess of rationality."

This exhibition features tapestry, paintings, and serigraphies, representing the different mediums that the artist, Carolina Guillermet, employs to explore and develop her language of color. 
Guillermet uses colors and shapes to construct an abstract vocabulary whose effects suggest an emotional architecture, both spatial and sensory, through the interplay of patterns and rhythms that extract different perceptions of light and volume and elicit synesthetic responses by their combinations.

In Guillermet's tapestry pieces, called Tactitonos, color shades are perceptible by sight and touch through textures. Tactitones are abstractions that respond to the need to touch the other and recognize oneself. In her acrylics on canvas, Guillermet juxtaposes colors achieving a high visual contrast. While, in her serigraphies, the strength of expression of pure color contrast decreases as she uses colors that are far from the three primary colors. Saturation, contrasts and tonal values make the observer's sight and perceptions articulate contradictions until achieving a balance within the abstraction.
