Description

Cosmos: Silence and Infinite offers new approaches to the stunning artworks of Eduardo Terrazas (1936). Four well-known authors present a multidisciplinary vision on the artist's ongoing series Possibilities of a Structure, which suggests at once a curiosity in the fabric of our universe and a profoundly human hope for an underlying rationality behind the chaos of the world.

Eduardo Terrazas has explored a lifetime's worth of questions about the nature of the universe through the microcosm of his images. He derives his visual reflections with a basic geometric structure and a technique that is inspired by the Huichol "tablas" from Mexican indigenous tribes. His highly colourful and playful series Possibilities of a Structure—of which Cosmos is a subseries—has been ongoing since 1974 and holds over 650 works to date: an artistic exploration of the boundaries of the infinite.
