Lygia Pape
Calming exhibition at Hauser and Wirth of new work by Brazilian artist, Lygia Pape. Most of the work were geometric abstract prints on Japanese paper from the 1950s mainly using fine lines or large block of black to create thin white lines. However the work I liked best was an installation in the back room of fine silver threads running in diagonal lines, like the prints, with light shining through them. As you walked round the work the lines appeared and disappeared at the light caught them. It was really beautiful. I also liked two pyramids of blue pigment with lights shining onto the tip. I always love things made of pigment and was intrigued to know if there was a structure under the blue or if it was solid colour. Closes on 19 November 2016
