Vitor Mejuto

Lyrical geometric abstraction, plays in painting, fiction and colour perspective

2020

The artist introduces a geometric synthesis that breaks down painting into its most structural essence. His work, in which the artist demonstrates a demanding investigation over the years between line, stain, and form, establishes a decisive chromatic balance between them. It shares affinities with Ellsworth Kelly's formal investigation in the highly refined visual transcription that Mejuto creates. We speak of geometry and abstraction, without it being in any way univocal or rigid, since the artist allows us to see the sketches themselves. There are vibrations in each of his compositions that can refer us to Malevich's Suprematism, as well as a sensitivity that brings them closer to emotional abstraction and the chromatic autonomy of forms, which we can see in artists such as Carmen Herrera.
