Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking contemporary artwork features a long, horizontal line that extends across the frame, creating a minimalist and meditative composition. The line is composed of various shades of black and gray, with a textured, almost brushstroke-like quality that adds depth and visual interest. The overall effect is a sense of balance and simplicity, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay of form, space, and materiality. The artist's intention may be to explore the inherent beauty and power of reductive abstraction, challenging the viewer's perception and expectations of what constitutes art. ...

Artist
Sandra Monterroso
B.1974, Guatemalan

Sandra Monterroso’s work uses sophisticated strategies to point to historical moments of great tension. Using various languages such as performance or video, and various perspectives, Monterroso investigates and deepens ideas about personal, historical and colonial wounds. Her practice can be understood as an exercise of healing one’s own body and history or culture. Through her performative actions in which she includes sculpture, objects and installations, she projects her relationship with the sacred and how it manifests itself in a continuous mythical return, in contrast to the linearity proposed by a modern reading of reality. With a voice that resonates from her maternal lineage of Mayan Q’eq’chi culture, Sandra’s practice signals the symbolic, spiritual, social and political aspects that constantly alter contemporaneity. It is a timeless and polyphone discourse. Her reflections are directed towards an attempt to redefine her decolonized identity, for this reason her work makes a constant return to her geographical territory of origin, and she adopts and incorporates cultural elements of her ancestry through which she transforms her contemporary and contradictory condition. ...

Instituto de Visión
Bogotá, New York City

Instituto de Vision is a Bogotá and New York based gallery for conceptual practices. Their mission is to investigate conceptual discourses that have been neglected by the official Latin American art canon. They have recovered important estates from the Latin American art of the mid century and continue to research the most enigmatic oeuvres of the region. Through a parallel program, they represent some of the most relevant contemporary practices from Colombia, Chile, North America, Venezuela, and others. Directed by three women, Instituto de Vision gives special attention to female voices, queer theories, environmental activism, the conflicts of migration, and other critical positions that challenge the established order. Using the international art scene as a platform, they are committed to give visibility and expand the work of artists that reveal critical realities and raise important questions for these contemporary subjects. ...
