Untitled 10, 2019 is built from a network of fine lines that organizes the surface into geometric fields of varying scale. Angular forms appear to shift across one another, creating an optical sense of depth and movement within a deliberately restrained composition. Dark and gold tones heighten the work’s meditative character, while the repetition of lines establishes a visual rhythm reminiscent of abstract architecture. As a geometric painting, the work brings together precision, silence, and materiality, inviting a slower visual experience in which the structured arrangement becomes the principal expressive element.
Ryōan-ji is the Japanese Zen temple in Kyoto, a monastery that gave rise to the idea of the purely abstract Zen garden that inspired this series Francisco Larios’ works are done by hand with hundreds of layers of gold leaf. The artist’s goal is to allow the work to age along with the collector, which is why some works will appear unbalanced in color. Parts of the work will have different tones, burnish spots, or small, soft cracks.
