• Resumen

  • The article presents information about Heimo Zobernig's show of geometric abstract paintings and drawings from 2004. It was a meditation on the possibilities of line, whether narrowed to a faint pencil mark or widened into a blue painted band. Works by this 45- year-old Viennese artist looked crisp and severe: square canvases either diagonally hung and overlaid with grid patterns or horizontally hung and bearing two angled grids that recall a caning pattern. De Stijl comes to mind, of course, though Zobernig's paintings are chillier than Mondrian's, drained of color--but for a TV-monitor blue--and run through a series of systematic permutations rather than arrived at intuitively.
