TETRACHROMAT
Frankfurt Westend Gallery
Italian-Slovenian artist Sandi Renko (born in Trieste in 1949) has always been interested in geometric construction and its optical perception, moving between OpArt, kinetic art, and geometric abstraction. His most important material is corrugated cardboard—canneté—a flexible packaging material with small grooves. He uses an airbrush gun to color the troughs and sides of the corrugations in such a way that different color compositions become visible depending on the viewing angle. The title of Sandi Renko's solo exhibition, which opens on September 5, 2025, at the Westend Galerie in Frankfurt, refers to processes of perception. A "tetrachromat" (ancient Greek) is a living being that—unlike humans—uses four instead of only three types of color receptors for vision and can thus enlarge or better differentiate the perceived color spectrum. "Tetrachromat" alludes to the four-color composition of three special works in the exhibition, which merge in color and form with the large sculpture Structura, also on display, made of MDF panels. Other works by the artist will be presented in installation form.
