Eugenio Espinoza is best known for his minimalist and non-figurative paintings that reference grid forms, producing works as a reaction to the dominant tendencies of geometric abstraction and Kinetic art in Venezuela. In 1972, Espinoza first exhibited his cut and folded canvases, including his Impenetrable series at the Ateneo de Caracas. The Impenetrables are considered Espinoza’s most important body of work, consisting of distorted, slashed and drapped paintings of grids, displayed either on the wall or floor. They are a true creative synthesis that reformulates Gego’s structuralist geometry, and Soto’s Penetrables, into Espinoza’s own and memorable contribution to the history of painting.
