  • It is rare that an art or a medium that is self-reflexive about its structure, its operations, its effects on the viewer, and about assuming a visual strategy that is largely abstract and process oriented, is also preoccupied with its own historicity, it’s own capacity for pictorial representation, it’s own conciliation of fiercely defended ideological oppositions. But these are just some of the contradictions posed by Monika Bravo’s vector art of abstract-representation. Yes, abstract-representation sounds like a non sequitur, but the work that Bravo has exhibited at the Johannes Vogt Gallery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan is focused on making the conciliation of such opposites a presiding philosophy of vector art.

  • “Tesserae,” an exhibition by Monika Bravo is a beautiful installation which explores notions of time and space, experience and reality, through the interplay of colorful slow-moving geometric colored tiles and natural images projected onto 5 LCD screens across three walls. These are juxtaposed and enhanced by a fast paced projection of shapes, and sites from Google Earth, across the fourth wall – effectively transforming Johannes Vogt Gallery space into a delightful experiential kaleidoscope of corresponding movement and colorful forms.
