Drawing on the lessons of Albers, painter Lúcia Glaz demonstrates in her new series of paintings a desire to explore new perceptual phenomena, considering the expressive potential of color in its interaction with form. In the same vein as artists of the post-painterly generation (Robert Ryman, Agnes Martin, Brice Marden)—despite the generational gap—the painter tends to view painting as an object rather than an illusion, pursuing a purist reduction that was also the goal of the aforementioned artists as they stripped their canvas experiments down to the essentials.

This is achieved through the observation of the city and the places we inhabit daily, which we often overlook despite their significance.
