DescriptionSome of these drawing-paintings suggest interstellar charts, with dotted lines that might indicate hypothetical orbits. But their vast expanses also could represent deserts, such as the barrens of northern Chile, the artist’s homeland. Grids add to the sense that Belmar is charting some sort of territory, although he contrasts the Cartesian elements with watery shapes and three-dimensional effects.
