SPHERES: Héctor Ramírez

Héctor Ramírez’s work is part of a long tradition that derives from the optical and geometric art of the middle of the last century, but at the same time constitutes a novel proposal, differentiated from that of the masters who preceded him. The center of his speech are his Spheres, in which he uses the superposition of planes that interact before the viewer’s gaze to produce virtual volumes.

The double plot does not seek vibration, nor does it pursue movement itself, although the work is modified by the movement of the viewer as occurred in many kinetic works. In his artistic work, the interest is in the volume: by superimposing lines that curve to generate circular forms by accumulation, Ramírez creates spherical volumes that seem to float in space. They are then virtual volumes that sometimes appear to exceed the physical space of the support, or to sink beyond its inner limit.
