Mario Naves presents geometric abstract paintings at Elizabeth Harris Gallery in 2013 exhibition

From January 4 to February 2, 2013, Mario Naves showcased his latest abstract paintings at the Elizabeth Harris Gallery, marking his sixth exhibition there. This display represented a transition from his previous collage work to geometric designs that emphasize color relationships. Located at 529 W 20th Street, the exhibition featured notable pieces such as 'Louder than God' (2011) with intricate color interactions, 'Sundays Only' (2012) showcasing descending polygons, and 'Outsourcing Picabia' (2011) with triangular shapes. Additionally, works like 'Obscure Reference' (2012) and 'A Pigeon in Catalonia' (2011) presented diverse conceptual and dynamic arrangements, emphasizing Naves' evolving approach to abstraction through color and line, while surface rhythms replaced the layered depth of his earlier collages.
