When faced with a selection of work by Mexican artist José León Cerrillo head-on, you’re reminded of what you often see on a computer screen. Random aluminium frames dotted around the exhibition space look like blank windows on a desktop display. The initial perception is thrown off kilter, though, by squares and rectangles composed of broken lines and framed in different colours. The most peculiar object is a pane of glass smudged with a roughly painted white ‘cloud’, which seems to hang in midair. 
            The New Psychology, a show at Andréhn-Schiptjenko in Stockholm, was Cerrillo’s first solo appearance in Europe. Vaguely evocative of American artist Oscar Tuazon’s architectural sculptures, Cerrillo’s work is composed of thinner lines, revealing a lighter approach and providing a more illusory effect.
