Fácil is an exhibition that explores constructivist, geometric and abstract art in the work of three generations of artists, looking closely at the elements that bring them together and at the same time, apart.

It is a visual experiment and a collaboration out of the ordinary, between la_cápsula and a group of seven artists who move along the lines —literally— of constructivism and abstraction (some more than others) and who shift the attention (most of the time) from the content to the form.

What looks easy (fácil) is in reality a display of precision and mastery of the technique: whether in painting, woodworking, collage or photography. What looks even or uniform, is in reality full of exceptions and peculiarities.

Fácil also hides a lot of complexity below the surface. What starts as a very clean, spacious installation in the main room of the exhibition, becomes intricate and overflowing in the second room. In the same manner, mathematical calculations, the study of color and shapes, observations of everyday events, and even political statements hide behind the surface of the artworks.
