Publisher Description: The work of Cuban-born artist Zilia Sanchez is characterized by her distinctive approach to formal abstraction through the use of undulating silhouettes, muted color palettes, and a personal, sensual language. Sanchez's exceptional formed canvases, which range in scale from the intimate to the monumental and span fifty years of artistic production, have seldom been seen outside of Puerto Rico, where she has lived and worked since 1972. Produced in conjunction with the artist's first solo exhibition at Galerie Lelong New York, this publication focuses on S nchez's shaped paintings made three-dimensional through her unique method of stretching canvases over hand-molded wooden frameworks. |
Contributor Bio(s): Sanchez, Zilia: - Zilia Sanchez is an avant-garde artist who from the 1950s began to question the established canons of abstraction. She is a great visionary whose works should be in the most important museums of contemporary art in Latin America. |
