Description
In Reason or Rhymes (2024), the artist Andres Ciccone deploys a spectacular composition where geometric abstraction, spatial illusion, and chromatic energy meet. On a perspectival chessboard that evokes an unstable architectural space, linear forms and colored ribbons seem to float, cross, and collide in a dynamic movement.
Ciccone organizes his composition according to mathematical and structural principles, notably inspired by the golden ratio, while allowing visual ruptures and "glitches" to appear that disturb this apparent order. The geometric forms saturated with reds, blues, and oranges project themselves into the pictorial space, creating a constant tension between balance and imbalance.
Underneath this precise structure, the artist integrates a network of freer gestures made with ink. These fine, almost calligraphic traces recall indecipherable writings or sketched plant landscapes. They introduce a more intuitive and organic dimension that contrasts with the geometric rigor of the composition.
The work is also distinguished by its materiality: the use of medium gels and different textures gives the surface a tactile depth. This technical stratification accentuates the sensation of space and movement, as if the forms were emerging from the canvas.
Born in Caracas in 191, Andres Ciccone left Venezuela due to the country's political upheavals and now shares his life between New York and Paris. His work explores the notions of identity, displacement, and belonging, often through complex and symbolic spatial constructions.
His visual language is part of the lineage of Op Art and kinetic art movements, which he revisits in a resolutely contemporary approach. The influence of major artists such as Agnes Martin and Alice Aycock is found in his interest in geometric systems, architecture, and dynamics of movement.
Presentation
Born in Caracas in 1991, Andrés Ciccone has established himself as one of the most promising artists on the contemporary scene, a bold heir to the Venezuelan kinetic art movement. His work, at the crossroads of painting, sculpture, and installation, explores the boundaries of visual perception through dynamic and immersive geometric compositions. Trained at the Caracas Academy of Art and Design and later at the Berlin Academy of Arts, Ciccone follows in the footsteps of the great Venezuelan masters of kinetic art, such as Jesús Rafael Soto and Carlos Cruz-Diez. His international experience, spanning Berlin, Lisbon, and New York, has fostered a cosmopolitan and experimental aesthetic. He draws inspiration from the theories of optical and kinetic art, while simultaneously seeking to transcend established conventions.
Ciccone's work is characterized by the use of geometric forms, primary colors, and striking contrasts. He frequently employs black and white as a base, enhanced with red, yellow, and blue, to create effects of vibration and depth. His compositions play with the viewer's perception, offering multiple interpretations depending on the angle of view. By combining painting, sculpture, and installation, Ciccone creates three-dimensional works that challenge the traditional boundaries of art. His creations evoke trompe-l'Å“il, encouraging the viewer to interact physically and visually with the artwork.
Ciccone has exhibited in renowned galleries and contemporary art fairs, including those in New York, Berlin, and Miami. He participated in group exhibitions such as "Dynamic Intersections" and "Pantone Play" at the Tuleste Factory in 2021. His work is also represented by prestigious galleries such as the Mark Hachem Gallery. By perpetuating the legacy of Venezuelan kinetic art, Andrés Ciccone brings a contemporary and personal vision to this movement. His work questions perception, movement, and the interaction between the artwork and the viewer, offering an immersive and reflective artistic experience.
