Quipus 23 B-1
1966
"Quipus 23 B-1" by Jorge Eielson is an acrylic painting on canvas mounted on board that engages with the visual language of the quipu, the Incan knotted-cord recording device. Eielson, a Peruvian artist deeply invested in pre-Columbian heritage, transforms the quipu's geometric and symbolic structure into a modernist composition that bridges indigenous knowledge systems with contemporary abstraction. The work exemplifies his artistic practice of reinterpreting ancient Andean forms as a means of cultural reclamation and formal experimentation.
