Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino will present the opening of Gustavo Díaz's exhibition, "Botany of Thought," in the upstairs gallery. The exhibition features a selection of Díaz's recent intricate and laborious laser-engraved acrylic works that engage the topic of the visual forms of thought.

According to Díaz, the exhibition begins from an intuition: thought can be understood as a temporal fold. Ideas do not appear in isolation nor organize themselves as stable structures; they emerge, deviate, overlap, and leave traces within one another. The visual configurations presented in this exhibition explore precisely this behavior through forms that expand, densify, and progressively reorganize.

Born and raised in Argentina, Díaz studied painting and sculpture at the Escuela de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredón, and piano performance at the Conservatorio Superior de Música Manuel de Falla. He subsequently spent 10 years in almost complete isolation in the remote town of Cariló, Argentina, where he continued to investigate contemporary scientific and philosophical thought through artistic research. Díaz currently lives and works in Houston.

The exhibition will remain on display through May 23.
