Eduardo Terrazas: Cosmos

Description

Cosmos: Silence and Infinite offers new approaches on the stunning art works of Eduardo Terrazas's (1936) art works. Four well known authors present a multidisciplinary vision on the artists ongoing series Possibilities of a Structure. Which suggests at once a curiosity in the fabric of our universe and a profoundly human hope for an underlying rationality behind the chaos of the world. Eduardo Terrazas's has explored a lifetime's worth of questions about the nature of the universe through the microcosm of his images. He derives his visual reflections with a basic geometric structure and a technique that is inspired by the Huichol "tablas" from Mexican indigenous tribes. His highly colourful and playful series Possibilities of a Structure - of which Cosmos is a subseries - is ongoing since 1974 and holds over 650 works until today: an artistic exploration of the boundaries of the infinite.
