Luis Fernando Pelaez
Almost silently, the Antioquian sculptor Luis Fernando Peláez has been forging, since the mid-1970s, one of the most moving works of current Colombian art. A work that includes painting, drawing, watercolors, screen printing, photography, collage, assemblages, as well as innovative installations and monumental works in public spaces. Examples of this are Plaza Cisneros, in Medellín, which contributed to recovering a civic area of enormous importance in the city, or Nexus, a proposal to revive the historical past of the old Edge Hill railway station in Liverpool, England. For Peláez, public space is the place where all the explored languages come together. This book is a privileged thematic account of a beautiful and important work.
