Statement
Carlos Medina follows the trajectory of geometric abstraction that has long informed the work of artists who have been obsessed with organizing and visually structuring the outside world with the aid of mathematics, spatial constructs, and a formal defense against the lyrical and expressive. Grounded in the pursuit of hard-edge compositional organization and the vibrations that force a response from the viewer’s eye, Medina, like the other artists of his generation pursuing the same stylistic philosophy, uses the tools of abstraction to go beyond the limits of the canvas as interventions in space and to extend outside the frame.
