On Saturday,  July 9, Galerie Lelia Mordoch in Wynwood showcased works which are retro and minimalist from the late 60s through the late 80s, yet it includes modern day styles and art work that is contemporary 2011.

The works by Julio Le Parc consisted of mobiles which were made out of reflective materials like metals in silver, black and gold. They reflected the light in the room and created spatial individual kinetic sculptures. They engaged the public while decorating the space with their subdued, rectilinear designs which are repetitive themes in the mobiles.

Reversperspective from Patrick Hughes is employed through his use of  3-D and 2-D extreme perspective views. His work is remarkable and looks as though as it is in motion when the viewer walks from left to right as he or she is captivated by it. Viewing it in person is the only way to see what happens to your own senses of stability, vision and perception. I consider him to be a master of Illusion.

Horacio Garcia Rossi magnificent tryptich of “Acrylic Light” simulated through the impeccable craftsmanship and draughtsmanship of a seasoned artist. Through the use of subdued shades of mixtures of black acrylic paint, the artist achieves the illusion of light. The very bright light in the middle of the fields of black on every canvas has such a degree of perceived chroma (brightness) as the black shades are lightened by the mixture of that particular color leading up to the central color. Translation (Take for example the top canvas; it has more and more yellow added to the black pigment leading up to the pure line of yellow to create the illusion of light.)

Furthermore, the artist carefully angles his tryptich vertically to further distort our sense of what is real and perceived reality. There is no artificial lighting involved in this luminous work of art.

The element of  the jagged line connecting the three canvases carrying the viewer’s eye from top to bottom adding the aspect of motion, hence the name of the exhibit, “Kinetic.”
