Popular culture, queer images, politics, sex and images of beauty all inspire Enrique Castrejon’s mesmerizing artworks. Through mathematical equations, Castrejon meticulously transforms graphic imagery into geometric line-drawings on paper by measuring distances between points. In creating rigid shapes – fragments – Castrejon challenges our perceptions of what is real, forcing us to think critically about information that bombards our everyday lives. Approximately 30 artworks were on display, including a 3-minute short filmintroducing the artist’s drawing methodology and philosophy. Presented in partnership with Design Within Reach®, MEASURED AND FRAGMENTED explored the relationship between art and design, architecture and space by presenting these works outside the milieu of museums and galleries.
