The Flowchart Exhibition presents a series of works by Analia Saban that combine painting, textile methods and sculptural processes. The woven paint panels use dried acrylic sheets cut into thin strips and interlaced with linen threads to form flat woven surfaces. Each panel follows a rectangular format and shows colour through the grid of the weave, with palettes ranging from neutral tones to fluorescent orange. The woven structure lets the paint behave as a physical material, creating slight bends and surface variations where the acrylic meets the linen.
The exhibition also includes carved marble objects and large encaustic works arranged as flowchart-like diagrams. These diagram-based pieces use scratched lines and directional pathways to set out simple visual systems on solid wax surfaces. The combination of woven panels and structured diagrams demonstrates how Saban navigates the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and graphic organisation, utilising material construction as the core of each piece.
