Miami, FL - Alejandra von Hartz Gallery is pleased to open its 2007-2008 season with an exhibition of Fabián Burgos' new works. "There are "eye-traps" in these geometric abstractions with optical relationships which confirm the persistence of the painting, play with illusion and challenge the beholder's perception. There are repetitions of colored forms and shadows in representations that raise questions about the ways of looking at the work and about the dynamics of the pictorial language itself. " On exhibition October 10 - November 3, 2007.

"From the outset, Burgos develops a polyphonic discourse. He paints considering the European avant-gardes of the early 20th century and includes in his gaze the artists of Latin American modernity, some of whose works foreshadow what later, in the United States, came to be called minimalism. " . . Victoria Verlichack, August 2007

In this new series FB compounds his admiration for the legacy of artists like Soto, Max Bill, Palermo, Silva, Le Parc and, Raul de Keyser amongst others, with "subjective images and impressions that arise from the quotidian", emptying them of their original meaning in order to transport them to another context which is not their own, namely the World of Art.
