Liquid Triangle (Rhodium)
2022
Liquid Triangle (Rhodium) presents a taut geometric form suspended between rigidity and dissolution, its blow-molded acrylic surface catching and refracting light in ways that seem to shift with every change in viewing angle. The rhodium coloration lends the work an almost mercurial quality, somewhere between mirror and atmosphere, as the triangular silhouette holds firm while the volumetric depth behind it pulses with reflected luminosity. Colón's mastery of industrial fabrication is fully on display here, with the precision of the manufacturing process serving not as an end in itself but as the means through which the artist explores light as a primary sculptural material. Colón has built a widely celebrated practice around her concept of the "Organic Minimalist," a mode of working that pushes hard-edged geometric forms toward something more cosmic and sensory. Liquid Triangle (Rhodium) exemplifies this ambition, inviting the collector to experience a work that is simultaneously architectural in its clarity and painterly in its atmospheric glow. The piece belongs to a body of work that has earned Colón significant institutional recognition, and her sculptures are held in prominent collections across the United States and internationally. At 50.8 centimeters square, the work is scaled for intimate domestic or office settings, offering an immersive optical encounter that rewards prolonged attention. This signed example, presented through The Contemporary Austin Benefit Auction, represents a meaningful opportunity to acquire a work from one of the most compelling voices in contemporary sculpture today.
