HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SHOW
Miguel Angel Rojas (Bogotá, Colombia. 1946)

400 BLOWS
Miguel Ángel Rojas is a Latin-American conceptual artist. His work includes drawing, painting, photography, installations, and video. His body of work, seminal in the region, is related to sexuality, marginal culture, violence, and the problems related to drug consumption and production. Rojas believes in the responsibility of artists to confront global issues through their art, and this connection between art and reality underlines much of his work. For the gallery opening, “400 Blows”, Rojas focuses on a public message about the Amazon. His work and materials communicate to the viewer the existence of a "New Dorado" where natural resources: air, water, and rainforest need to be restored as the most valuable elements for life.

Camilo Restrepo (Medellín, Colombia. 1973)
PERPETUAL
Camilo Restrepo is a Colombian artist who provides counter-narrative solutions where authorities and civil society have not. This indicates to the viewer the legitimacy of his particular humor arising from representations that may seem chaotic but are morally and objectively placed at the service of the truth. For this exhibition, Restrepo focuses on the current global battle between truth and fiction, which manifests itself at the intersection of violence and popular culture. His work shows the clear connection between drug trafficking and a new vocabulary that is perpetually fed. Twelve large monthly calendars form an infinite circle where information “flows” from one to another, in a controlled process that does not allow us to guess whether it is random or controlled.

Ricardo Cárdenas (Medellín, 1966)
ALEATORY INTERSECTIONS II
Ricardo Cárdenas is a Colombian abstract sculptor with training in both Civil Engineering and Fine Arts. His work reflects a deep knowledge of materials and engineering processes, in which presence and volume build connections between organic forms, materials, colors, and contents. In “Aleatory Intersections II”, Cárdenas incorporates vigorous forms that resemble organic and architectural elements, seeking dialogue between structures created by man and those of the natural world. These works are based on an observation exercise not limited to visual perception, in which the aim is not to replicate reality, but rather to carefully interpret the world as the core of its creative process.
