This new monumental polyptych from the series Extincts (frost and light) is publicly presented for the first time at KALPA, in the most intimate room of our venue, where light and shade converse with the architectural elements. The piece, a kaleidoscope of fluid and sinuous lines of plant species unravels myriad perspectives and a new equilibrium between figurative and abstract representation.
Extincts 02 comprises numerous copper plates engraved and naturally oxidized imprints of six different plants now extinct. These are the plants of the Cooksonia specie (known for being the first plant to appear on the planet 400 million years ago), including Psilophyton, Zamites, Schizostachys Pinnata, Sphenophyllum, and Anomozamites.
