3 In Luis Fernando Roldán (Colombia 1955), geometry arises more obliquely when losing its linear rigors, giving way to the human footprint that much of the geometric art of 20th century sought to banish. Hence, in these works the line is not a vector but a link to the personal and even implicitly to the social, being present in both calligraphic texts as in drawings and diagrams insinuations that articulate their images. The idea of structure goes across the work of Beatriz Olano (Colombia 1965), where the geometry is a consideration of both the line organization and even the volume, but its sense is mostly poetic rather than mathematical or constructive. Thus why the colors of the artist displace any notion of geometric axiom, framing our meeting in her work, where the geometry establishes a dialogue with the sensitive and subtle. This scientific reference implicitly appears in the work of Karina Peisajovich (Argentina 1966), whose chromatic circles conjure theoretical physics models on color and simultaneously fades those away into a dance where perception is constantly reoriented in the immersive experience that the artist produce. In Emilio Chapela s work (Mexico 1978), geometry arises in an almost default way to shift its referents, visually abstracting them. In that sense, Chapela s rigorous abstraction hides its direct connection with the economic, social, political and working environment that condenses the Walmart corporation logo along its different versions.

5 The exhibition gathers four Latin American artists who make different uses of language and techniques of abstract geometry, showing the continuity of the geometric art in its absence of gesture and no-reference to the real world. These works demonstrate its validity in the usual economy of means used and in its formal rigorosity, offering pieces that are deeply poetic and highly contemporary in their perception, concepts and concerns, referring directly to the XXIst century. Using European abstract and constructivist vanguards legacy, and following neo-concrete and kinetic trends of Latin American 50s. The four artists provide us of keen and spontaneous solutions within what we might call classic composition rules, geometric order, balance between and overall the sense of space.
