Bio
Graciela
Hasper`s intense concern in geometry and color have led her to be
considered one of the most stimulating artists today. Her work recurs
to the history of painting and processes, especially modernism and
abstraction, but is also influenced by design and music. Whilst her
visual repertoire is often borrowed from the modernist canon –colors,
grids, framing devices and compositions– the way Hasper undertakes
her work is absolutely contemporary in both method and conception.
Hasper´s works open
up a wide range of formal questions as they deal with rhythm and
movement, iteration and difference. From her first body of works,
characterized by a joyful and intimate delicacy to her last
monumental approaches in public spaces, an overriding characteristic
of her work is its vibrant color palette and a keen eye for
composition.
