Carlos Cruz-Diez's Chromatic Environments at Dep Art Gallery

Dep Art Gallery in Milan presents 'Colore come evento di spazi', a solo exhibition of sixteen large-scale works by Franco-Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez (Caracas, 1923 – Paris, 2019), a pioneer of optical-kinetic art since the post-war period. The show explores color as a real-time mechanism operating on pictorial surfaces and within physical space through series that investigate addition, subtraction, reflection, interference, saturation, and projection. A site-specific environment, 'Pyramide d’Interferences Chromatiques' (2018), projects moving parallel colored stripes interspersed with black and white lines onto a solid pyramid that becomes transparent. The exhibition demonstrates a contemporary aesthetic rooted in the Neo-Avant-Garde, blending installation, conceptual art, and participatory art.
