Fig. 9 BASE VERDE and NARANJA presents two complementary geometric fields in which color, line, and repetition produce a precise sense of depth and spatial tension. The green and orange panels appear to contain architectural structures formed from hundreds of closely spaced lines, while the central grids create the impression of recessed chambers or shifting frameworks. Around them, fine strokes radiate outward, suggesting the movement of light across a fixed surface. As an abstract ink diptych drawing by Rodrigo Spinel, the work balances rigorous geometry with subtle optical movement, transforming meticulous mark-making into a meditation on light, shadow, spatial perception, and the passage of time.
The project is a series of ink abstract drawings on different surfaces, depicting the solstices and equinoxes of the year through the overlapping of shadows at various times of the day. These shadows suggest the outline of invisible structures, similar to frameworks of beams and columns, which appear static but are actually in motion in relation to the sun.
The technique used is based on the repetition of parallel lines at different angles and colors, a meticulous and meditative process that records the passage of time, stroke by stroke. Although the images are static, the work highlights the difficulty of perceiving movement and the passage of time without a fixed reference, inviting reflection on how the sun and its shadows reveal that everything is in constant transformation.
