A new film by Eric Minh Swenson.

For her first exhibition in Europe, and in particular in Brussels, at the Royal Rink - Galerie Valérie Bach, Gisela COLON is tearing the white veil of contemporary art with works that, let us say it clearly, belong to the "never seen". . These extraordinary curved forms taken by his paintings, made of thermo molded plexi, are futuristic anticipation, playing on their iridescence, that is to say their infinite variations of light and color depending on the angle of view, which delight the eye as much as they jostle all our certainties.
From the cross between Californian minimalism and the kinetic art of the sixties is born all the great production of Gisela Colon who lives and works in Los Angeles. 

Her work lies precisely in this research of pure form and color, in perfect resonance with the "Light and Space Movement" of the artists of the West Coast at the beginning of the Sixties such James Turell, Bruce Nauman, Craig Kauffman, Robert Irwin, etc ... Their works of that time were (and still are) such as in themselves, perfectly autonomous objects, directly inspired by the lights and colors of California, they appear in the eyes of the spectator in all their power, in their purity. absolute, without engaging the subjectivity of the looking subject. 

The works of Gisela Colon, on the other hand, involve the spectator; in this way, it quotes the optico-kinetic art of the 60s, directly inspired by Carlos Cruz Diez (to whom the ice rink concomitantly devotes a great retrospective, because of this proximity to his work, precisely, and of which it claims inheritance), Horacio Garcia Rossi, Gregorio Vardanega, Karl Gerstner, Antonio Asis, Rafael Soto or Julio Le Parc.
