Gisela Colon Biography

Gisela Colon is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on July 30, 1966 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Colon was born in Vancouver, Canada, in 1966 to a German mother and Puerto Rican father. Her mother was a painter who studied languages and art at the University of Edmonton, Alberta, and her father was a scientist who obtained a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. She was raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico since the age of one, and attended the University of Puerto Rico, graduating magna cum laude in 1987 with a BA in Economics, after receiving a 1986 Congressional Scholarship Award by the Harry S. Truman Foundation. Colon moved to Los Angeles in 1987 to pursue graduate studies, receiving a Juris Doctorate degree from the Southwestern University School of Law in 1990.

Gisela Colon (born 1966) is an American international contemporary artist who has developed a unique vocabulary of “organic minimalism,” breathing lifelike qualities into reductive forms. Operating at the intersection of art and science, Colon is best known for meticulously creating light-activated sculptures through industrial and technological processes. Drawing from aerospace and other scientific realms, Colon utilizes innovative sculptural materials such as carbon fiber and optical materials of the 21st century, to generate her energetic sculptures. Colon’s gender-fluid sculptures disrupt the traditional view of the masculine minimal object, by embodying qualities of energy, movement and growth, through a merger of industrial with the organic. Oscillating between masculine and feminine, primitive and futuristic, liquid and solid, fecund and phallic, inert and biological, Colon’s objects possess a confluence of polarities that take the minimal object to a new frontier.

Colon’s oeuvre encompasses several distinct sculptural forms: Pods, Monoliths, Slabs, Light Portals, and Unidentified Objects. The through-line in all of Colon’s work is the concept of the “mutable object.” Influenced by Donald Judd’s ideas and writings, such as his seminal essay “Specific Objects” (1964, published 1965), Colon refers to her works as “non-specific objects” to highlight their deliberate fluid indeterminacy. The sculptures are conceived as “non-specific objects” that transmute their physical qualities through fluctuating movement, varied lighting, changing environmental conditions, and the passage of time.

In 2017 Colon developed a series of standing sculptures referred to as “Light Slabs,” 8-feet tall works with a light-activated core rendered in translucent acrylic and polished stainless steel. The combination of disparate materials creates a duality of perceptual phenomena. The Slabs have been described as “sublime sculptures that resonate with color and light. Mysterious and magical…. they emit, reflect and refract light…feel otherworldly and seems to emanate a powerful life force. The metallic colors shift as the viewer circles it, much like the wall pods mutate in response to shifting points of view or changes in the light….These works aspire to be the opposite of fixed and static; they are shape-shifting, non-linear, non-specific objects. Working from a vocabulary of minimalist geometric forms, Colon achieves glowing, timeless objects of beauty.”
