Lilia Carrillo Todo es Sugerente, an exhibition presented at the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, celebrates the artist five decades after her last tribute exhibition. Carrillo's artistic career, though cut short by her premature death at 43, was marked by originality and significant contributions to non-figurative painting in Mexico. Her work, often described as "informalist" or "lyrical," uniquely blended abstraction with hints of figuration, creating an evocative and suggestive pictorial style.
Carrillo's approach was shaped by both local non-figuration models and international avant-garde art of the mid-20th century. Her diverse themes encompassed aspects of the natural world, imagined states of consciousness, and contemporary societal issues. This breadth and complexity position Carrillo as an artist whose abstract body of work defies easy categorization.
