Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary ceramic sculpture features a simple, minimalist design with a muted, earthy color palette. The smooth, curved form of the vase is interrupted by delicate, white linear accents that create a fractured, fragmented appearance, evoking a sense of imperfection and impermanence. The understated, abstract composition and the artist's use of basic ceramic techniques suggest a focus on exploring the interplay of form, surface, and negative space. This work likely aims to challenge traditional notions of functionality and celebrate the inherent beauty in the imperfect and the impermanent. ...

B.1980, Peruvian

Ximena Garrido-Lecca creates sculptures and installations which trace the violent history and contemporary reality of colonialism in Peru. Garrido-Lecca is incredibly invested in reviving Peruvian indigenous culture and folklore, her earlier works such as Walls of Progress (2009) and The Followers (2010) recreated quintessentially Peruvian sites. The former saw the artist create miniature replicas of ancient mud walls with commercial advertisements painted over them, referencing the corruption of indigenous practices in Peru. In other works, Garrido-Lecca will replicate traditional Peruvian craftwork such as ceramics or textiles, yet the materials used subvert tradition. In Campos de Polaridad II (2019) hand thrown ceramic vases are cracked with iron solder with LED light tubes spouting from their openings. In Redes de conversión: Puntadas entrelazadas de bucle (2021), a textile blanket is woven with copper cables, attached to a LED panel displaying a countdown. Within her practice, countless sacred sites and customs are marred with destructive materials, signalling the cultural destruction brought about by globalisation. Outside of cultural customs, Garrido-Lecca’s work also analyses the direct impact colonisation and globalisation have had upon Peru’s urban and rural areas, questioning how these global forces have irrevocably shaped Peru’s landscape. ...

80M2 Livia Benavides is an art gallery specialised in Peruvian conceptual art. The gallery opened in Lima as a response to a scarce infrastructure for the arts. From then on, the gallery is focused on developing critical discourses on contemporary issues. We are interested in different voices, practices and aesthetics focused on political and social reflection. By promoting the works of established and emerging artists who have influenced the local artistic scene, we intend to introduce new names internationally. The gallery strives to build bridges between the local and international contributing to an interchange that goes beyond borders. 80m2 Livia Benavides advocates for non- conventional exhibitions spaces that transcends the white box experience. With the intend to reach a broader spectrum of the community and to rethink exhibition venues. ...
