A geometric interpretation of the symbolism of ancient America.
Raúl Conti (Argentina, 1931) explores Latin American identity through a dialogue between Indigenous heritage and Constructivism. Rather than traditional representation, he builds the figure through planes and edges, drawing on the avant-garde search for a universal visual language.
The figure is organised through planes and angular forms. Simplification and a totemic arrangement connect the composition with Pre-Columbian symbolism.
Oil on a smooth, rigid wooden panel allows precise edges. The brushwork is subordinated to form, with measured areas of colour seeking flatness and solidity and giving the work an almost sculptural presence.

The Taller Note
The rhythm of planes and edges organises the composition. Simplified forms construct the figure and connect the geometric language with the work’s Pre-Columbian references.
