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.
