For this new exhibition devoted to Francisco Sobrino, the Galerie Mitterrand has decided to focus on the Transformations Instables—made from smoked transparent Plexiglas—and Structures permutationnelles—their mirror-polished steel counterpart— , which he developed from the early 1960s onward. In these pieces, he created structures based on simple geometric forms, where by means of superposition and juxtaposition, other forms were born. This typology of work, emblematic of Sobrino’s artistic production, gives prominence to a game between the space, the light and the movements of the spectator. Their aim is to create a visual instability on behalf of the viewer by blurring the boundaries between the artwork and its immediate environment.
