ART WALL
During the renovation of their new office, Reform Architecture incorporated a large 50 foot continuous white wall for art exhibitions. The Art wall curation is lead by Dionisio Cortes Ortega, one of Reform Architecture's founding partners. In addition to being an architect, Mr. Cortes Ortega is a curator and was co-founder of Front Art Space in, a gallery in Tribeca between 2013 through 2018.
​
Reform hopes that this wall can become a space for artists, architects and clients to meet, interact and create new connections. If interested in purchasing any work or be considered for exhibition please email info@reformarchitecture.com.

Reform is pleased to present the work of visual artists Archil Pichkhadze and Dionisio Cortes. Producing from diametrically opposite sides; realism and abstraction, their work coincides in the construction of space.
In his most recent work, Pichkhadze brought his implied narratives much closer to the surface. These images attempt to balance the visual and emotional complexities found at the borders of observational realism, fading memories and lost dreams. Pichkhadze is very interested in further pursuing these ideas, while creating enigmatic paintings with real presence.
Cortes’s work extracts the experience of being present in a particular moment in time and space by reorganizing imagery, searching for potential abstractions and the possibility of architecture. Where space is dynamic and stable; emerging and receding, unpredictable… His creative practice lies in an area between the incidental and the intentional. Cortes’ work is formally intuitive, however its organization is calculated by building up planes within a visible/non-visible grid.
It could be argued that in both bodies of work, their work is the result of a balancing act; the elements in the work support and play off of each other. The organized pictorial spaces aim to hold the viewer’s gaze allowing the viewer to enter and wonder within the imagery and also to make their own personal connections and discoveries.

​Reform Architecture's first show stared with Leticia Ortega's work which consisted of two bodies of work. The first body of work was from 2016 and 2017 and consisted in an series of abstract color compositions with inspiration drawn from arid plans. The other body of work exhibited was more recent and it included a juxtaposition of flowers, plans and some figural elements inhabiting abstract spaces.
