Bipolares or Jurassic lines is the most recent artistic production by Bogotá-based artist Fernando Uhía. This series of fifteen paintings featuring thick bands of color is the result of a deep introspective exploration of his previous work. The artist returns to his work Septimias (2023) and adds a new plane (eighth) to the composition.
Uhía comments that the creation of these pieces was inspired by a process of illusory deceleration and detachment from the capitalist culture that surrounds us. Through this, a new type of optical art is created, one whose linear borders generate slow distortions, undulations, and vibrations. The paintings, divided into groups of color temperature, question the way the viewer understands pairs or quartets of colors, as they tremble and collide with each other.
They move into the viewer's visual field and invite a temporarily unique visual experience. Bipolares or Jurassic lines addresses multiple issues of existence and reality in the 21st century and visualizes new ways of understanding, experiencing, and inhabiting it optically. In the midst of a world driven by consumerist acceleration, the artist invites us to consider a slow and conscious existence, in which we question the monumental and the tiny, and how we remain at the center; deepening the wonder of living between eternal times.
