Geometry and Territory is the name of the first solo exhibition at the Livia Benavides Gallery in Lima by Chilean artist Patrick Hamilton, who lives in Madrid. Both concepts, intimately linked, allow the artist to poetically address notions such as spatial representations, measurements, divisions, organizations, limits and the intervention of spaces, both physical and social.

For more than twenty-five years Hamilton has focused his artistic practice and research on the relationship between art, politics and economics in the context of the last decades in Chile. He has taken both references to the history of his country and the history of universal art, to create a “visual thought” that interrogates our ability to see and reflect on art, visuality and the world around us.

The exhibition presents two bodies of work that the artist has been developing in recent years and in which he uses geometry and copper to conduct an acute investigation into the notions of history, politics and economics in the context of Chile over the last few decades.
