Mehretu, born in Ethiopia but exiled to the USA since she was a child, works on large canvases in which a meticulous latticework is found beneath the abstraction. Drawing is suggested as fundamental in her practice due to the detail that is seen when we approach the paintings: this area, below the nervous lines, is so interesting that our eyes do not stop traveling through it. 

It is assumed that the works have a political content, related to revolts and constant social change but, as observers, where our eye only sees and our imagination is what gives shape to what we see, we relate her works in black and white with the thoroughness of ancient Japanese artists and the color ones with an amusement park seen from the height of a drone.
