‘Geometry & Color: Gio Ponti’, by Beatriz Sarrias

On view through 27 April at Michèle Schoonjans Gallery in Brussels is an exhibition that is simultaneously a game and a tribute to the great Milanese architect Gio Ponti (1891-1979). Bea Sarrias uses geometry as a compositional tool, in addition to light and color for depicting the textures and materials that Ponti worked with.

Included in the show is a portrayal of Villa Planchart (1953-1957), the Caracas home of Armando and Anala Planchart, where every detail, including the furniture and the crockery, is designed by Ponti. The space is conceived as a synthesis of the arts. An audiovisual presentation created by Morrosko Vila-San-Juan crafts a dialogue between the creative process of Sarrias and the forms and colors of Gio Ponti.
