Beatriz Morales

Working together, the Mexican artist Beatriz Morales (*1981) and the Lebanese cognitive scientist Yasmina Jraissati (*1978) investigate the question of how different colors are perceived in different cultural circles. Morales’s multilayered oeuvre—encompassing painting, installation, and video—and Jraissati’s scientific, philosophical view of the interplay between color and cultural influence open up to the reader an expanded perspective of art as a bridge between West and East, the traditional and the contemporary, the lives of individuals and universal cultural exchange.
