Pace Prints is pleased to announce Future flora, an exhibition of new monoprints by Santi Moix, on view from September 6 – October 12, 2024, at 536 West 22nd Street. An opening reception will be held at the gallery on Thursday, September 5, from 6-8pm.

Santi Moix’s new monoprints are suffused with life. Plush blooms of flowers and threads of dots become intertwined, often radiating from the center of the compositions, or lying evenly in swaths of saturated color. In many of the works, the flowers’ stems are crowded with little emblems which Moix refers to as his “Pictionary,” a term he coined to describe his idiosyncratic lexicon of figurines – abstract, insect-like, or botanical, and all unique imaginary shapes.

Future Flora is a continuation of Moix’s exploration of beauty and ephemerality, as it draws from previous bodies of work published with Pace prints: hanabi (2019), inspired by the firework festival in Nagaoka, Japan; and Rippling (2012), which the artist named for the effect produced by the spontaneous layering of silkscreens. Moix incorporates motifs of drooping blossoms and barbed leaves tinged in melancholic blue that appear as gentle reminders of the inevitable condition following energetic bursts of life.

Future Flora presents new worlds, lush with the biota of Santi Moix’s mind, where beauty and vibrance encourage us to embrace the cyclical nature of our own experience.
