This poster commemorates a major retrospective of Marcos Irizarry, one of Puerto Rico’s leading abstract printmakers and painters of the 20th century. Hosted by the Museo de la Universidad de Puerto Rico in 1987, the exhibition celebrated Irizarry’s distinctive contributions to modernist abstraction, texture experimentation, and innovative serigraphic processes. His work, characterized by rhythmic mark-making and layered surfaces, became foundational in the island’s transition from figurative to conceptual art traditions.
Luis Alonso’s design adopts an Irizarry-inspired aesthetic, echoing the artist’s characteristic linear density and sweeping organic forms. The interplay of textured bands evokes Irizarry’s interest in nature, memory, and the movement of landscape. By merging homage and graphic interpretation, the poster positions Irizarry within Puerto Rico’s broader lineage of artistic modernism and establishes the exhibition as a key moment for institutional recognition of his legacy.
