Structure of movement: AGAM / MERIDA / REUSSNER / SALAZAR / STRACK / UGARTE

Galerie Meyer Zafra is pleased to present Structures of Movement, a group exhibition bringing together six artists, Yaacov Agam, Manuel Mérida, Jean-Claude Reussner, Francisco Salazar, Walter Strack and René Ugarte whose works explore the intersection of geometry, structure, and motion.

Here, the constructive discipline of form becomes an instrument of perception.
Lines expand and contract, surfaces vibrate and shift, and color unfolds as movement. Each work embodies the dynamic balance between order and flux, continuity and transformation — a dialogue that has defined postwar abstract art across Europe and Latin America.

Jean-Claude Reussner constructs paintings that reveal and conceal their structure through subtle chromatic tension and spatial rhythm. Manuel Mérida, with his rotating pigment circles, introduces real motion into matter itself, turning time into the medium of painting. Walter Strack and Francisco Salazar, key figures of Latin American geometric abstraction, build spaces through seriality and repetition, where color becomes a vector of structure and vibration. René Ugarte, in the tradition of constructivism, infuses his geometric compositions with an intimate poetic resonance. Yaacov Agam, a founding figure of kinetic art, expands the pictorial field into a temporal dimension, engaging the viewer’s movement as part of the work’s activation.

Together, these artists map a history of abstraction as an evolving, perceptual architecture — a conversation between the precision of European constructivism and the sensorial experimentation of Latin American post-concretism. In Structures of Movement, geometry breathes: it is no longer an ideal form but a living structure — a field of experience that shifts with every glance.
