Mexican artist Yvonne Domenge comes to Millennium Park

Millennium Park exhibits first female, Latino artist

The al fresco galleries flanking "Cloud Gate" will soon come alive with a colorful new sculptural installation.

On view in the park's North and South Boeing Galleries from April 6 through October will be the larger-than-life works of Mexican artist Yvonne Domenge, who is both the first woman and first Latino to show work in the galleries. Dubbed "Interconnected: The Sculptures of Yvonne Domenge," the exhibition is presented by the Department of Cultural Affairs.

Models, drawings and maquettes of the sculptures were briefly on view at the Cultural Center last month, illustrating the artist's penchant for organic forms and shapes, and a fascination with geometry and rhythm. The forthcoming exhibition will feature three large, colorful orbs (one maquette is pictured) as well as Domenge's abstract "Tree of Life," which comprises "seeds" scattered on the ground beneath.

     

Interconnected: The Sculptures of Yvonne Domenge

Striving to represent underlying patterns in what may outwardly seem chaotic, Yvonne Domenge’s sculpture in Millennium Park strikes a unity in what we perceive as opposites and finds harmony in apparent dissonances.

Often referencing the natural world, Domenge’s work reveals a fascination with form and geometry. Her large spheres – three of which will be on view in the Park – defy gravity and space, conveying a rhythmic beauty and the sense of a larger universal order. Also on view Domenge’s Tree of Life, a bright red sculpture with branches reaching up to the heavens, is a symbol of life’s connections and energy. 

This exhibition is presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Millennium Park, in cooperation with Millennium Park, Inc., and is sponsored by The Boeing Company and Mexico’s CONACULTA (The National Council for the Arts and Culture), the Chicago Office of Tourism, with support from the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, the National Museum of Mexican Art, and the Consulate General of Mexico.
