"Cosmos" offers new approaches on the stunning art works of Eduardo Terrazas (* 1936). Four well known authors present a multidisciplinary vision on the artists ongoing series "Possibilities of a Structure". Which suggests at once a curiosity in the fabric of our universe and a profoundly human hope for an underlying rationality behind the chaos of the world. Eduardo Terrazas has explored a lifetime's worth of questions about the nature of the universe through the microcosm of his images. He derives his visual reflections with a basic geometric structure and a technique that is inspired by the Huichol tablas from Mexican indigenous tribes. His highly colourful and playful series "Possibilities of a Structure" - of which Cosmos is a subseries - has been an ongoing project since 1974 and comprises over 650 works until today: an artistic exploration of the boundaries of the infinite.
Eduardo Terrazas (1936) Guadalajara, Mexico -originally trained as an architect- is a creator that has taking a genuine interest in studying the complexity of our contemporary world. For over fifty years, he has worked on an array of disciplines: architecture, design, urban and regional planning, environmental issues and the visual arts, pursuing harmony and beauty.
