Lygia Pape

Tecelar

A delicate geometric abstraction emerges from Lygia Pape's precise woodcut marks, rendered on the translucent, fibrous surface of Japanese rice paper. The interplay of cut lines and negative space reflects Pape's engagement with Brazil's Concrete and Neoconcrete movements, where visual rhythm and structural form held both aesthetic and philosophical meaning.
