Eamon Ore-Giron visualizes the world as abstract forms and shapes, and envisions the interaction and interplay of these shapes as a reflection of societal dynamics. This exchange between forms and Ore-Giron’s use of geometries symbolizes the ways in which people of different communities — such as those surrounding Bay Pkwy (N) station, home to his #MTAarts mosaic artwork "People’s Instinctive Travels: Homage to the Tribe" — negotiate their relationships with each other and new places, a process of reinvention and creation.
On view through May 22, visitors to the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (MCA Denver) can see the progression of Ore-Giron’s paintings since 2002 in “Eamon Ore-Giron: Competing with Lightning / Rivalizando con el relámpago,” which focuses more closely on Ore-Giron’s recent works that expand and complicate the centuries-long history of geometric abstraction from ancient Andean cultures to 20th century modernism.
