'Color Thinking Composition PS31' Colorful Kinetic Painting
2018

About the Item

‘Color Thinking Composition PS31’ is a medium size abstract geometric acrylic on canvas painting created by Argentinian artist Cristina Ghetti in 2018. Featuring a vivid, multicolor palette made of blue, green, yellow, pink and orange among others, this square format depicts a series of wavy parallel lines, leading our eye from one side of the painting to the other. Cristina boldly contrasts the various colors to one another, in a rhythm that, along with the curviness of the lines, creates a definite sense of movement. Unframed, this acrylic on canvas geometric abstract piece will be a definite focal point in any room, whether placed above a buffet, side table or chest-of-drawer. Cristina Ghetti was born in Buenos Aires but today lives in Valencia, Spain. If one were to describe Cristina’s work, some of the words that might come to mind would be energy, linearity, aberration and color… although she frequently creates monochrome pieces. Her work typically features a series of parallel lines with a variety of aberrations that tend to focus attention while at the same time enhancing the entire piece. Whether monochromatic or with dozens of colors, Cristina’s pieces always brighten up whatever space they occupy. If geometry comes to mind when viewing Cristina’s pieces, that is no accident. She has a Master’s of Visual Arts and Multimedia from Valencia Polytechnic University and expanded on the subject in her PhD thesis: “Post Medial Geometry”. Cristina’s work very much epitomizes the notion of the intersection of art and science, and the world has indeed taken notice. Her works can be found in galleries around the world in cities such as New York, Miami, Toronto, London, Barcelona, Bonn, and Panama City among others.

Cristina Ghetti

Cristina Ghetti is an abstract painter whose work mobilizes the visual languages of Op Art, Geometric Abstraction, and Kinetic Art to explore the intersection of perception and reality. Born in Argentina, she lives and works in Valencia, Spain. Ghetti earned her Master of Visual Arts and Multimedia at the Polytechnic University in Valencia, Spain, where she developed a strong interest in working with experts in adjacent fields, such as infomaticians and mathematicians. Her research into the development of new geometries in the visual arts culminated in her doctoral thesis, titled “Post Medial Geometry.” Ghetti has exhibited her work extensively, including recent exhibitions at MACBA (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Buenos Aires), the Argentine Embassy, Washington, DC, and Frost Art Museum, Miami, FL, among others. Her work is in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Contemporary Art and Design of San José Costa Rica, the Municipal Museum of Plastic Arts Eduardo Sívori, Buenos Aires, the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts of the Province of Corrientes, the Provincial Museum of Santa Rosa, Province of La Pampa, the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain, the Max Aub Foundation, and the Sculpture Park of Rincón de Ademuz, Spain, as well as in numerous private collections. Ghetti is interested in cross-disciplinary methods and tools. She originates her compositions on the computer, utilizing digital tools to develop images that trick the mind into perceiving things like movement and depth on a two-dimensional, static plane. She then translates her compositions into traditional paintings using acrylic paint on canvas. What is most interesting to her about this process is the perceptual and experiential relationships it uncovers. Digital media allows her to immerse herself within a virtual environment, while the work of translating that virtual image into a material image-object using paint and canvas raises questions about where the line can be drawn between reality and perception.
