Betty Danon's Geometric Abstractions at Tiziana Di Caro, Naples
Betty Danon (Istanbul, 1927 – Milan, 2002) is the subject of her first solo exhibition at Tiziana Di Caro gallery in Naples, titled 'Geometrie anni Settanta: tra logico e poetico, programmato e casuale'. The show features works from 1969 to 1973, a period when Danon, influenced by C. G. Jung's analytical psychology, explored symbols derived from geometry: circles, squares, rectangles, and mandalas. Her collages and gray-painted canvases use typographic-like compositions to challenge perceptual habits, asserting a strong link between the unconscious and visual scores of pure geometric forms. Repetition becomes a tool for self-identification and a search for spirituality, which Danon placed at the core of human and artistic experience.
