Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking black and white visual composition, with a focus on dynamic shapes and figures. The central subject matter depicts a group of people, likely refugees or migrants, crowded together in a small boat on a body of water, surrounded by a turbulent, almost dreamlike landscape. The artist employs a bold, expressive style, using thick, gestural lines and contrasting tones to create a sense of movement and intensity. The overall context suggests the piece addresses themes of displacement, human struggle, and the plight of vulnerable populations, reflecting the historical and social challenges faced by the depicted individuals. ...

Artist
Wilson Díaz Polanco
B.1963, Colombian

Wilson Diaz´s work is informed by the complex sociopolitical context of Colombia. His practice includes music, painting, performance, photography, and video. While the range of mediums is broad, Díaz’s oeuvre is unified by his commitment to exploring the tensions inerrant within local imaginaries and specifically by interrogating the representation of violence in the mass media. In capturing intimate moments and tracing complex constellations of human and political influence, his art offers persuasive alternatives to conventional perceptions shaped by ideology and propaganda. Diaz is one of the most relevant artists in Colombia. His work has been a constant influence on local artists and had helped to construct the landscape of contemporary art in the region. His body of work can be read as a non-lineal historical narrative, that exposes the multiple tension, conflicts and beliefs in a region that can only be explained by the mystics and poetics of art. Through this repetition of form and in a self-reflective exercise constantly present in his practice, Díaz recreates the process of recirculation and appropriation of images. ...

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. ...
