In ENLACES (Ties), Fernando García Correa presents a selection of works created between 2008 and the present. Unlike his previous series, this exhibition is not conceived as a linear continuation of themes, but as a transversal dialogue among different stages of his career.
The pieces gathered here stem from an in-depth exploration of repetition, rhythm, and progression, organized like a
musical suite in which each work, though autonomous, forms part of a coherent whole. This structure allows the artist to investigate the formal and conceptual connections between distinct series—works that now coexist, overlap, and intertwine.
With this exhibition, García Correa introduces a new approach to his creative process: more circular than linear, more open to reinterpretation than to sequential development. The show also stands out for its variety of mixed techniques and materials, reaffirming the artist’s intent to weave together different visual languages within a single artistic pursuit.
In short, LINKS is an invitation to traverse the crossings, resonances, and internal tensions that have marked the artist’s trajectory—elements that here converge in a new point of confluence.
Fernando García Correa (Mexico City, 1958) is a visual artist with a distinguished career in contemporary abstraction. His training at the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving “La Esmeralda,” the Academy of San Carlos, and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris fostered a rigorous and profound understanding of visual language—particularly of drawing and painting as tools for thought.
Since the late 1980s, García Correa has developed a body of work defined by its exploration of structure, repetition, rhythm, and variation. His practice inhabits a space between painting, object, and installation, and aligns with a post-minimalist sensibility, where formal reduction does not signify absence but rather a pursuit of contained intensity.
For more than three decades, he has worked on series such as Succulents, and Concretions, among others, in which geometric, material, and processual intertwine. Using mixed media and diverse supports—paper, fabric, marble, wood—he approaches the visual from a sensitive yet rigorous perspective, one that remains open to transformation. His work resists the linear continuity of themes, instead proposing connections, bifurcations, and returns, turning his practice into a process of constant rereading and evolution.
He has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Mexico, the United States, France, Spain, Switzerland, Colombia, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. He has received multiple awards and distinctions, including grants from Mexico’s National System of Art Creators and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. His work forms part of public and private collections in Mexico and abroad.
