About
Why this artist matters now
Alfred Jensen constructed grid-based paintings using mathematical systems and color theory, creating works that metaphorically reference pre-Columbian and Asian cultures. Working from Guatemala City, he developed a distinctive formal language where geometry and chromatic relationships became vehicles for cross-cultural philosophical inquiry.
