Inès Blumencweig: Structures dynamiques

Published on the occasion of her 2024 exhibition Diane de Polignac, and with support from the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art, Inès Blumencweig: Structures dynamiques tracks the career of the visionary Argentine living in Rome. Inès Blumencweig (1930) is a virtuoso artist who creates works between painting and sculpture. His extensive technical knowledge allows him to master various materials such as metal, wood and ribbons. His work is close to Spatialism, kinetic art and Arte Programmata, while remaining fundamentally personal and original.

For the Dynamic Structures exhibition, Galerie Diane de Polignac chose to present 22 unpublished works from the 1970s. At that time, Blumencweig used wooden panels that she cut, drilled and painted with acrylic, gouache or with lacquer. The support adopts all kinds of geometric shapes, emancipated from the traditional rectangular format. Blumencweig then added colored nylon ribbons that she stretched, twisted and wound and whose contortions recall the colored bands of kinetic works. The meeting between the wooden panel and the nylon ribbons produces unique relief paintings.
