Rosemberg Sandoval
Recognized for a deeply political artistic practice that emerges from within marginality and alongside it, Rosemberg Sandoval works with his body as a studio and center of visual experimentation, using dirty and contaminated materials somewhere between sculpture, painting, printmaking, drawing, and performance (recorded through photography, video, and objects) to create images that engage in dialogue with pre-Columbian and contemporary rituals, the philosophy of Schopenhauer, the poetics of Borges and Octavio Paz, and figures such as Beuys, Duchamp, Débora Arango, and Oiticica. Through a coherent and visceral body of work, Sandoval shows that art is an effective means of questioning values and exposing the uneven character of our society. Born in Cartago, Valle, Colombia, he studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Cali and the Universidad del Valle, and has exhibited in museums across Latin America and Europe. His work is part of collections such as MoMA in New York, Daros in Zurich, MALBA in Buenos Aires, MAMBO and the Museo Nacional in Bogotá, the Halle Collection in Arizona, MAMM in Medellín, Museo La Tertulia in Cali, and Galería Casas Riegner in Bogotá, the gallery that currently represents him.
“Art is much more profound than history, ideologies, religions, and science, because of its autonomous, dizzying, and libertarian character. Art is the only thing that allows us to exist and struggle as individuals, and not as sheep”
