Institutional Acquisition | Alex Puz

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of three paintings by Alex Puz by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Art Collection in Washington, D.C. The acquisition marks an important milestone in Puz’s growing institutional recognition, placing his work within a distinguished collection dedicated to celebrating the artistic and cultural diversity of Latin America and the Caribbean and fostering dialogue across the Americas. Puz’s practice investigates the relationship between color, perception, and spatial experience through a distinctive approach to geometric abstraction. Working with intricate systems of intersecting lines and carefully orchestrated chromatic relationships, the artist creates compositions that challenge the stability of visual perception. Through repetition, rhythm, and subtle variations in color, his paintings generate a dynamic interplay between structure and movement, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between the painted surface and the experience of looking. Established in 1992, the IDB Art Collection brings together works by artists from across Latin America and the Caribbean, reflecting the region’s rich artistic heritage and the evolution of its contemporary practices. The inclusion of Puz’s paintings within this collection represents a meaningful recognition of his artistic vision and reinforces the continued relevance of geometric abstraction as a language of experimentation, perception, and cultural exchange. PFA Gallery is proud to have facilitated this acquisition and extends its appreciation to the IDB Art Collection for its commitment to supporting contemporary artistic practices.
