A Symphony of Color: Exploring Mercedes Pardo’s ‘Así sigue (It goes like this)’
Mercedes Pardo's *Así sigue (It goes like this)*, created in 1985, is a captivating example of her mature style – a harmonious blend of geometric abstraction and the lingering emotional resonance of abstract expressionism. This minimalist composition, rendered as a precisely organized square, invites viewers into a world defined by color relationships and subtle spatial dynamics. The artwork isn’t about *what* it depicts, but rather *how* it feels; Pardo masterfully uses form and hue to evoke an internal landscape.Geometric Precision & Emotional Depth
The painting is structured around distinct horizontal bands of color: a grounding deep blue at the base, transitioning through lighter grey, muted olive green, a vibrant stripe of orange, and culminating in a delicate line of teal. These aren’t simply blocks of color; each band possesses a subtle gradient, adding visual complexity and preventing starkness. Pardo's technique is characterized by clean lines and planar shapes, hallmarks of geometric abstraction. However, unlike purely analytical approaches to the style, *Así sigue* retains a palpable sense of emotion. This stems from Pardo’s earlier training in abstract expressionism – she never abandoned her interest in conveying inner consciousness through abstract form. The careful juxtaposition of colors isn't arbitrary; it feels deliberate, almost musical, creating a visual rhythm that resonates with the viewer.Historical Context: A Venezuelan Modernist
Mercedes Pardo’s artistic journey reflects a pivotal moment in Venezuelan art history. Initially rooted in abstract expressionism, she, like many of her contemporaries – including her husband, Alejandro Otero – embraced geometric abstraction in the late 1960s. This shift wasn't merely stylistic; it was part of a broader movement within Venezuelan modernism seeking to define a uniquely national artistic identity. Pardo’s work stands out for its ability to synthesize these seemingly disparate influences. She didn’t simply adopt geometric forms, but infused them with the expressive power she had honed during her earlier career. Her paintings often explored themes of space and light, reflecting Venezuela's unique architectural landscape and vibrant natural environment.Symbolism & Emotional Impact
While devoid of representational imagery, *Así sigue* is rich in symbolic potential. The layering of colors can be interpreted as representing different emotional strata or states of being. The deep blue evokes a sense of stability and depth, while the brighter orange introduces an element of energy and optimism. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation – a visual meditation on the interplay between order and emotion, structure and feeling. This artwork isn’t demanding; it invites prolonged viewing, allowing its subtle nuances to unfold over time. It's a piece that would lend itself beautifully to a modern interior, adding a touch of sophisticated color and intellectual depth without overwhelming the space.
