Continuing his interest in functional form, Cruzvillegas has designed three new structures that will serve at once as sculpture, platform, and gallery seating. Taking rudimentary geometric shapes and primary colors as their basis, these new works expand on sculptures first showcased in the artist’s recent presentation "Agua dulce" at the Bass Museum, Miami Beach. In Williams's newest compositions, the artist achieves a delicate balance between density and sparseness, combining line-drawn figures with expressive marks and bursts of color. Radically nonhierarchical, the raucous array of imagery, line, and color in these paintings appears unbound by distinctions between high and low, foreground and background, or any sense of visual primacy.
