Entropic Disseminations by artist Federico Ovalles will open on July 19 at 7 p.m. in the Museo del Arte del Tolima (MAT).
"The main axes of my observation and exploration are architecture, geometry, abstractionism, and historical constructivism."
Ovalles' work contrasts basketry and organic materials with cement in elaborate compositions that reflect on the vestiges of rurality that still exist and remain within urbanity, the civilized, as well as on the peripheral edges of Latin American cities, where the two worlds coexist with completely blurred limits: the rural and the urbanized.
Federico Ovalles (Caracas 1972) studied drawing, painting, and sculpture at the Cristóbala Rojas School of Arts and at the Armando Reverón Institute of Visual Arts (IUESAPAR). In 1996, he settled in London for six years, studying drawing and painting at Westminster College, video art at the Camberwell School of Art, art and computing at Tower Hamlet College, and engraving at the London College of Printing. He has held individual exhibitions in countries such as England, Spain, Peru, Venezuela, and Colombia.
Inviting: MAT, Tolima Government and Elvira Moreno Gallery.
