Tortured papers
Year 2013

Technique: India ink, permanent marker and graphite on vellum paper.
From the homonymous solo show at Galerie Chenus Longhi - Paris.

The works on paper show the fusion of the alphabetical structures of Latin letters - the author's object of study since 1989 - with the techniques of their fragmentation added to symbolic geometric shapes. Subjects range from post-alphabetic elements, to floating square and triangular figures, to the aesthetic seeds of the concept of repetition - represented by the dense series of straight lines - which from being spatial in this series, will evolve to temporal in the next period of Time Units (2023).
