La estructura ausente 2.0

24 Women in Abstract Art Exhibit at MAQRO
The exhibition “The Absent Structure 2.0, 24 Women in Abstract Art” opened at the Querétaro Art Museum (MAQRO). It features works that employ a visual language based on form, color, and line to create a composition with a high degree of independence from the visual references of the world.

The exhibition demonstrates how the arts of different cultures became accessible and showed alternative ways of describing the visual experience, after many artists felt the need to create a new kind of science, religion, and philosophy towards the end of the 19th century.

Abstraction in art is not about telling a specific story, but rather about encouraging the viewer’s engagement with an aesthetic form and stimulating their imagination. Abstract artists are free to explore their themes from diverse perspectives, textures, colors, shapes, values, lines, geometries, and situations.

In “The Absent Structure 2.0: 24 Women in Abstract Art,” we see how movement can be displayed like never before. Simply by adding abstract elements to their works, the artists increase their evocative power.

The nature of abstract painting is for the viewer to experience a constantly evolving understanding, as part of the emotion, and, like culture itself, there is no final resolution to a successful painting: it continues to evolve and evoke.

Participants include Ana Thiel, Beatriz Simon, Beverly Moor, Bobbi Van, Claudia Ramos, Debra Thompson, Esmeralda Torres, Gabriela Aguirre, Geraldine Zinat, Guadalupe Morazúa, Kambria Anton, Kathleen Camarata, Laura Enciso, Marcela Rosado, Maru Vazquez, Marypaz Cervera, Merry Calderoni, Pia Seiersen, Rosalía Briones, Shadi Yousefian, Terry Ann Tomlinson, Wendy Moyer, and Yarla Landeros.

With free admission, the exhibition can be visited until April 28th, Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The MAQRO is located at 14 Ignacio Allende Sur, in Querétaro’s Historic Center.
