Soledad Sevilla’s distinctive practice began in the 1960s, when she enrolled at the University of Barcelona to study art. While her classmates were experimenting with drip painting, Sevilla used computers to create “rational abstraction.” In the 1980s, she won a scholarship to Harvard. By then, she was already developing her signature geometric abstractions and spatial installations, often using a grid as a structural base. Later, she started incorporating plant life into her work. This exhibition, Sevilla’s first at the Reina Sofia since she transformed the museum’s glass wall with polycarbonate panels, turning the Palacio de Cristal blue, offers a comprehensive survey of her work. —Elena Clavarino
