The Hogar Collection is pleased to announce, “Requests for Expansion”, the upcoming exhibition by an amazing emerging forerunner of contemporary abstraction, Cecilia Biagini. In her second solo exhibition at the gallery she will present powerful new abstract paintings, sculpture and photograms that visually and seamlessly traverse between their materials and mediums. Exploring and celebrating color, movement, poetry, minimalism and abstraction her works are like well-practiced improvisational dances that contemplate thoughtful intuition. Embracing it’s place in history and the unknowing of the future, her work oscillates in a space where it simultaneously embraces an “intellectual” and “non-intellectual” understanding of the purely abstract. Primarily working with variations of line, her diverse array of work weaves webs of layers that intricately hide and camouflage into each other. Layers upon layers of color and line build, producing an effect that gives an incredible sense of depth and focal perception; similarly to that of a thick and colorful fog.
