Perhaps at the beginning
\ntime and the visible,
\ntwin makers of distance,
\narrived together,
\ndrunk
\nbattering on the door
\njust before dawn.<\/p>\n

The first light sobered them,
\nand examining the day,
\nthey spoke
\nof the far, the past, the invisible.
\nThey spoke of the horizons
\nsurrounding everything
\nwhich had not yet disappeared.<\/p>\n

\u2014 John Berger
\nAnd Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos,<\/em>\u00a01984<\/p>\n

The horizon is the line where sky meets land or sea. At this threshold, what we see is always in motion, disappearing or slowly coming into view. It is both spatial and temporal: a shifting boundary between what is visible and what is not yet seen.<\/p>\n

Minerva Cuevas\u2019s intervened seascapes retain the familiar line where ocean meets sky while contrasting a romanticized conception of nature with a natural element. Along the lower edge of the paintings, chapopote\u2014a dense, tar-like petroleum\u2014accumulates and drips beyond the canvas. This material disrupts the reading of an otherwise conventional scene, foregrounding its physical presence. The use of petroleum inevitably recalls the environmental realities of oil extraction. At the same time, the black horizons become sites of tension between the material\u2019s alluring texture and the idealized beauty historically associated with landscape painting.<\/p>\n

In Thiago Hattnher\u2019s paintings, horizontal bands of color are built up in layers, creating multiple, shifting horizons rather than a single one. The result produces changes in tone, mood, and rhythm, a field of horizons within horizons that recalls early modernist grid-based paintings. Within the same surface, flower arrangements, geometric forms, and hints of landscape drawn from the artist\u2019s memory coexist without hierarchy. Variations in the colors and texture unfold across the canvas without a clear point of departure or arrival. The paintings offer glimpses into Hattnher\u2019s memories dispersed in fragments that remain in flux, recalling how memory stores and reconfigures images over time.<\/p>\n

Across both practices, the horizon shifts from a fixed line to a site that continually transforms, closer to the movement of the tide. In Cuevas\u2019s work, it frames notions of beauty and nature as fluid, mutating as perceptions shift, while in Hattnher\u2019s it multiplies and recedes, suggesting fleeting impressions drawn from memory. Their horizons offer a way to inhabit multiple temporalities, prompting reflection on how environments are perceived, remembered, and gradually altered over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
