Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract sculpture features a striking arrangement of warm, reddish-brown hues and organic, crumpled forms. The layered, twisting shapes create a sense of movement and texture, suggesting a dynamic, sculptural interpretation of nature. The artist's distinctive use of materials and techniques, such as the manipulation of leather, results in a bold, expressive work that invites the viewer to contemplate the relationship between material, form, and the creative process. This dynamic sculptural piece reflects the artist's exploration of the intersection between the natural and the manufactured. ...

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. ...
