View in a Room

// Mute 23 by Francisca Sutil, a limited edition etching from 2013, is a captivating study of rhythm, pattern, and texture. This piece consists of countless small, teardrop-like forms arranged in a repetitive grid that subtly warps and undulates, creating a sense of depth and movement across the composition. The methodical arrangement and slight variations in spacing and direction give the piece an organic quality, as if the pattern is gently rippling or bending. Sutil’s use of monochromatic tones emphasizes the form and motion within the piece, inviting viewers to explore the balance between order and fluidity. This artwork, part of an edition of 20, exemplifies Sutil’s minimalist approach, where simplicity is imbued with meditative depth and energy.

Francisca Sutil (Chile, 1952) is a contemporary artist renowned for her abstract paintings and printmaking. Her work explores the interplay between color, texture, and form, often reflecting themes of silence and meditation. Sutil's art has been exhibited internationally, including at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santiago.

Francisca Sutil is a Chilean abstract artist who is known for her dedication to exploring technical process as a way of evoking meaning. Sutil's preferred medium has evolved over her career, beginning with printmaking in the mid seventies, shifting to paper making from the late seventies to the mid eighties, and then to painting from the mid eighties on. At every stage Francisca Sutil has paid close attention to the techniques used to create her pieces, resulting in intricate and exquisite constructions, such as abstract and sculptural works of cast paper and paintings of multi-layered hues. Recently she has stripped down the complexities of her art and explored the product of simple, careful, repetitive techniques, such as single brush strokes applied in rows on a plain background, producing a textured field that invites contemplation. Francisca Sutil's work can be seen in a number of museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Museo de Artes Visuales in Santiago, Chile. (Artist website)
