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.
