This exhibition presents a unique opportunity to experience Aason Bucher's innovative blend of textiles and geometric abstraction in one of Costa Rica's most renowned contemporary art institutions.

The exhibition encourages reflection on the historical processes surrounding the pigments that permeate our lives, as well as the intricate methods of textile production.
