"What began as a small edition for friends and collectors has evolved into a vibrant, open project: ten small-art works – intuitively conceived, with a circular concept, carried out by an idea that feels more relevant than ever.
What does the world need today? Perhaps a new sense of connectedness? The awareness that we are all part of something larger? That we – despite all contrasts – exist within a shared universe?
On November 1st, 2024, ten images emerged on special canvas paper, unfolding through their energy, movement, and openness. Created with circular compositions and connectivity, without deliberate planning, they now come together in fascinating ways: each panel can be combined with any other – every arrangement forms new, harmonious constellations. An unexpected sense of unity, a visual echo of the underlying idea.
The series invites viewers to shift perspectives, to discover connections – and perhaps to find themselves within one of these “dimensions.”
As a member of my newsletter, I promised you the first sight of these very exclusive art works. 10 original art works only! Each panel is 32 x 24 cm/ 12,59 x 9,44 inches. Painted with fine liner, ink, acrylic and some gold leaf on paper, mounted on poplar wood and MDF boards, ready to hang on the wall. Each work is signed from back and will be signed from the front bottom right.“

„Was als kleine Edition für Freunde und Sammler begann, hat sich zu einem lebendigen, offenen Projekt entwickelt: zehn kleine Kunstwerke - intuitiv konzipiert, mit einem kreisförmigen Konzept, getragen von einer Idee, die aktueller ist denn je.
Was braucht die Welt heute? Vielleicht ein neues Gefühl der Verbundenheit? Das Bewusstsein, dass wir alle Teil von etwas Größerem sind? Dass wir - trotz aller Gegensätze - in einem gemeinsamen Universum existieren?
Am 1. November 2024 sind zehn Bilder auf speziellem Leinwandpapier entstanden, die sich durch ihre Energie, Bewegung und Offenheit entfalten. In kreisförmigen Kompositionen und Verbindungen entstanden, ohne bewusste Planung, fügen sie sich nun auf faszinierende Weise zusammen: Jede Tafel kann mit jeder anderen kombiniert werden - jede Anordnung bildet neue, harmonische Konstellationen. Ein unerwartetes Gefühl der Einheit, ein visuelles Echo der zugrunde liegenden Idee.
Die Serie lädt den Betrachter ein, die Perspektive zu wechseln, Zusammenhänge zu entdecken - und sich vielleicht selbst in einer dieser „Dimensionen“ wiederzufinden.
Als Mitglied meines Newsletters habe ich Ihnen den ersten Blick auf diese sehr exklusiven Kunstwerke versprochen. Nur 10 Original-Kunstwerke! Jede Tafel ist 32 x 24 cm/ 12,59 x 9,44 inches groß. Gemalt mit feinem Liner, Tinte, Acryl und etwas Blattgold auf Papier, montiert auf Pappelholz und MDF-Platten, bereit zum Aufhängen an der Wand. Jedes Werk ist auf der Rückseite signiert und wird auf der Vorderseite unten rechts signiert.“

Interplay: Geometric Abstraction Exhibition Selected for Lunar Codex – Heading to the Moon in 2025!

 

Palm Beach County, FL – September 2024 – In a groundbreaking moment for art in South Florida, 33 Contemporary Gallery’s acclaimed exhibition Interplay: Contemporary Geometric Abstraction has been selected to be part of the Lunar Codex. The exhibition will be included in the Codex Polaris, scheduled to launch to the Lunar southern hemisphere in September 2025 aboard the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.

This prestigious opportunity makes Interplay one of the few exhibitions in the world to have its works digitally archived and sent to the Moon as part of the Lunar Codex, an extraordinary project initiated by Dr. Samuel Peralta. The exhibition’s catalog will be preserved on digital memory cards, ensuring that the selected works of art will be part of a lasting cultural archive on the Moon.

The Codex Polaris mission, of which Interplay is now a part, will join seven other missions in archiving the work of 35,000 contemporary artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers from 254 countries, territories, and indigenous nations. This digital preservation symbolizes the unbreakable link between human creativity and space exploration.

The Interplay: Geometric Abstraction Exhibition, curated by Sergio Gomez, originally debuted at the Palm Beach Art, Antique & Design Showroom in Lake Worth, Florida, showcasing the works of 49 exceptional artists from across the globe. These artists, representing countries such as Ukraine, Canada, Scotland, France, Germany, Spain, the UK, Argentina, Italy, and the United States, were selected for their innovative approaches to geometric abstraction. The exhibition explores how contemporary artists use geometry as both a point of departure and a destination, incorporating it symbolically, narratively, and in formal, non-objective ways.

 

“Being part of the Lunar Codex is an extraordinary honour,” says Sergio Gomez, curator and owner of 33 Contemporary Gallery. “When we first launched Interplay in August 2024, we knew we were gathering something special—an exhibition that not only explored the depth of geometric abstraction but connected artists from around the world. Now, to have this exhibition’s catalog sent to the Moon and preserved for future generations is beyond what any of us could have imagined. It’s a testament to the enduring impact of art, transcending both space and time.”

The artists selected for Interplay represent a diverse array of voices and approaches to geometric abstraction. The following artists' works will be digitally archived and sent to the Moon: Asandra, Lia Art, Nina Ashraf, Nerea Azanza, BOJITT, Betti Brillembourg, Segun Caezar, Lisette Cedeño, Trace Chiodo, Su Kaiden Cho, Adeola Davies-Aiyeloja, Lewis Deeney, Susan Detroy, Michele Di Leo, Cheryl Eggleston, Andrew Ekins, Douglas Frohman, Maria Andreina Gonzalez Vivas, Harry Matti Hukkinen, Cj Hungerman, Paulina M. Johnson, Ananda Kesler and Judy Bales, Lisa Kinzelberg, Inna Malostovker, Francisco Marin, Erich Meager, Polly Merredew, Lee Morrison, Iriana Muñoz, Philip Noyed, Marianela Perez, Deborah Perlman, Picardo, Joanna Pinsky, Juliana Plexxo, Jonathan Pruc, Alejandra Repetto Escardó, Jacki Rosen, Delsy Rubio, Patrick Schmidt, Michele Renee Sherlock, Jordan Scott, Carita Schmidt, Jennifer Small, Wuilfredo Soto, Lois Stone, Dina Toporska, Paula Valenzuela, Clifton G. Webb.

About the Lunar Codex:
The Lunar Codex is a visionary project conceived by Dr. Samuel Peralta. Its mission is to archive contemporary art, literature, music, and film on the Moon, creating a cultural time capsule of humanity’s creative legacy. This project is part of NASA’s Artemis Program, with works sent through a series of missions that will deposit digital archives on the lunar surface. The Codex Polaris mission, scheduled for September 2025, will transport Interplay: Geometric Abstraction to the lunar surface in digital format, where it will remain as a cultural record of human achievement.

About Interplay: Geometric Abstraction

Curated by Sergio Gomez, Interplay: Geometric Abstraction debuted in August 2024 at the Palm Beach Art, Antique & Design Showroom, marking 33 Contemporary Gallery’s first official exhibition after its relocation from Chicago to Florida. The exhibition quickly gained recognition for its diverse array of international artists and innovative interpretations of geometric abstraction. As a celebration of both structured precision and abstract expression, the exhibition showcases works that use geometry to explore universal truths, narratives, and formal beauty.

The inclusion of Interplay in the Codex Polaris mission further elevates the exhibition’s impact, allowing the works and the ideas they represent to transcend Earth and reach the Moon. 

I am thrilled to announce that two of my artworks, Luminous Whisper II and Luminous Whisper III, will be part of the LUNAR CODEX. Both artworks have been part of the exhibition Interplay: Contemporary Geometric Abstraction. The whole exhibition has been selected to be part of the Lunar Codex. The exhibition will be included in the Codex Polaris, scheduled to launch to the Lunar southern hemisphere in September 2025 aboard the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.
