Hércules Barsotti was a graphic designer and artist inspired by the work of Concrete and Neo-Concrete art in Brazil. He adopted the limited palette and spare geometric forms of Concrete art, but avoided its mathematical rigor. He favored instead the more sensorial approach to geometry that characterized the Neo-Concrete movement emerging in Rio de Janeiro. In these drawings, Barsotti organizes planes and lines to evoke a sense of visual tension and fragmentation, suggesting a three-dimensional space that recedes away from the surface, grounding his geometry in the physical world.
