Biography

Beltrán Obregón is a multidisciplinary artist who works across video, painting, photography and sculpture. Since the beginning of the 1990's Obregón has developed an experimental set of works that draw from particular artists and movements from the 20th century European and Latin-American avantgarde. The artist cites Francis Picabia, Italian Futurism and Kinetic Art as having a particularly strong influence upon his practice. Obregón has an ongoing interest in industrial history, seeking to trace the ever-shifting relationship between humanity and machinery. Past projects have seen him tackle international relations as well as critically engaging with formal art history. His painted series Apollo (2000) for example recasts the sprawling machinery within rockets as art historical subjects, and his 2009 project Committee for the Appreciation of Colour and Form brought a playful perspective to Albers’ canonized theories of colour. Often combining audio visual components with his paintings or sculptures in the gallery space, Obregón creates unexpectedly discursive installations which draw on such a wide range of art historical, political and social threads. The artist now lives and works in Bogotá and is a part-time teacher at the Universidad de Los Andes. ...
