Located in Miami's Wynwood Art District, the Espace-Expression Gallery presented the exhibition titled Homage to Denise René. Past, Present and Future of a Vision, organized as a well-deserved tribute to the recently deceased French gallery owner Denise René (1913-2012), whose work as compiler and promoter of geometric abstraction, Op-Art and Kinetic Art was decisive. In opening her legendary gallery in Paris, in 1944, René succeeded in creating a space that would serve as a center for modern art; a venue in which a great part of the international artistic vanguards associated with formalist aesthetics gathered, and where an important push was given toward the establishment of those tendencies around the world and in Latin America, especially in the poles of Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil. The exhibition was curated by Denis Kilian, Director of the Galerie Denise René in Paris. Kilian was in charge of selecting a group of 80 works by 54 artists to cover the best of geometric abstraction from past and present and to showcase a wide variety of proposals from a diversity of origins. These not only demonstrated the international nature of the geometric and kinetic movements, but also addressed their multiple visual interpretations and resolutions. Following the guidelines with which Denise René grouped, studied and promoted the artists that she welcomed into her gallery, the exhibition included pieces by creators from the geometric abstraction and kinetic art currents, as well as from contemporary proposals associated with those aesthetics. Nonetheless, the manner in which the works were displayed across the exhibition space established a dialogue between several art currents and periods, as the walk through the exhibition avoided the chronological gaze. The exhibition began with the imposing Pénétrable by Jesús Soto, placed to dialogue with the Plano Flexionante Circular by Venezuelan Elías Crespin. Then there were the works from international geometric art from the mid-Twentieth Century, with important works by Cícero Días, Aurélie Nemours, Lajos Kassák, Max Bill, Jean Gorin, Henri Stazewski, André Heurtaux and Robert Jacobsen, among others; along with works by contemporary artists that work in the same line, such as Wolfram Ullrich, Anne Blanchet and José Macaparana. Op-Art was represented by masters Francisco Sobrino, Víctor Vasarely and Luis Tomasello, while Kinetic Art covered a series of works by the most relevant artists from that historic current, including Nicolás Schöffer, Jesús Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Martha Boto, Hugo Demarco, Horacio García-Rossi, Julio Le Parc and Darío Pérez-Flores. It was interesting to observe the works by contemporary artists, like Miguel Chevalier, Vincent Leroy, Pe Lang and Zimoun, who delve into abstract-geometric languages with the help of new technologies. The inauguration of the exhibition was attended by Carlos Cruz-Diez, one of artists who were closest to the French gallery owner, and perhaps the best person to inaugurate this beautiful exhibition in homage to Denise René's life and work.
