A founding member of the Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel (GRAV), Sobrino was born in Spain; educated at the National Fine Arts School in Argentina; and made art in Paris from 1959 until his death in 2014. The research at the heart of his efforts was an investigation of combinations of grids in both two and three dimensions. His paintings and public sculptures explore the intersection between optics and physics, inviting active viewership and the collective action of aesthetics.
