Gen I, V, and IV, Triptych is a masterful three-panel work in which Alec Franco explores the morphology of our genetic sequence, transforming the canvas into a plastic laboratory of self-discovery. Through heterogeneous backgrounds ranging from textured white to deep, dark purple, the artist delineates three "nuclei," or independent yet interconnected molecular segments. Each panel functions as a cellular map of veiled data: chains of fluid, organic lines intertwine like nucleic bonds, enclosing masses of vibrant color (electric yellows, turquoises, acid greens, and magentas). The work moves between the tension of initial horror at the mystery of our own hidden identity and the joyful exuberance of self-knowledge. Franco uses matter and expressionistic brushstrokes to plastically decipher what science explains with formulas, offering the viewer an aesthetic path to access the secret key we all carry within us but cannot decipher.
Gen #1, #5 and #4, Triptych, 2021, is an extraordinary abstract painting exhibited by The Art Design Project, a contemporary art gallery in Miami, Florida, that promotes both established and emerging artists. This piece delves into the intricacies of human identity, echoing how DNA is genetic information, hidden and encrypted in body fluids. These veiled data patterns make us unique yet elusive, forming our concrete individuality. The triptych powerfully visualizes these unseen and unknown specifications, which only certain experts can decipher.
