Eduardo Terrazas

Eduardo Terrazas experiments a lot through his art, but my favorite is Crecimiento Exponencial. In the series of sixteen frames Terrazas explores the limits of growth through an evolution governed by predetermined rules and the physical consequences of two types of growth, exponential and organic.

“The rule that guides the representation of exponential growth is to keep adding lines, exponential and proportional manner, a white square format initially, until the increase is so intense that the square format becomes completely black. It is clearly a process of accumulation of unsustainable elements.

To represent organic growth it was decided to divide the space to bring it to a process of diversification; Thus, the original white square was first divided into two colors, the following table in four colors and so on. The gradual division of space during the first half of the series manages to visually show sustained growth and the second half of the table 9 to 16, it is an affirmation of the infinite possibilities that organic growth generated.”
