LUIS FERNANDO PELÁEZ (Jericó, Antioquía, Colombia, 1945)"Sur II (Cow)", 2003.Mixed media. Iron,
"Sur II (Cow)", 2003.
Mixed media. Iron, glass and resins.
Provenance: Fernando Pradilla Gallery (Madrid).
Size: 120 x 50 x 25 cm.
The work belongs to the series Sur, for which the artist was inspired by the poem "Morada al sur", by the Colombian poet Aurelio Arturo, which deals with the landscape and the past from a nostalgic point of view. The piece, which captures the atmosphere of the poem, features a cow in a sea of resin, which seems to want to cross over, migrating towards the surface. This material, together with the rust of the metal, are not casual, but rather seek to transmit a sensation of the transmutation of the passage of time. A similar work was exhibited at the 2019 Paris fair, however, in this case the protagonist was a bull.
Luis Fernando Peláez is a Colombian artist who began his academic training in architecture. Despite this, he decided to dedicate himself professionally to sculpture, although he also works with other media, such as photography. He has had numerous exhibitions and has participated in important art events, including the 2014 Vancouver Biennial, ARCO 2005, the Sixth Architecture Biennial (2005) and the XXV Sao Paulo Biennial (2002). He has also exhibited in galleries in Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay, Peru and Cuba and has won numerous awards, including the Salón Nacional de Artistas Colombianos (1987), the V Bienal Americana de Artes Gráficas (1986) and first prize at the Bienal Panamericana de Arquitectura de Quito (2006). His works are defined by a clear language, in which he rescues elements of everyday life, to which he inspires an aura of solitude and silence. Today his work can be found in important private collections, and also in important public institutions where his work can be visited, for example the Museo de Antioquia in Medellín, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Sao Paulo, the Museo de las Américas in Washington, the Luis Ángel Arango Library in Bogotá and the Suramericana Collection in Medellín.
