Jorge Cabieses
Bio
He was born in Lima in 1971. His work of geometric and spatial character makes reference to elements and colors extracted from the Peruvian popular culture. From planes, lines and fields of color he constructs a pictorial work that questions the spectator's gaze and takes it towards new meanings where the image, sometimes hidden by the geometry itself, is projected towards other realities. Cabieses propitiates new spaces of reflection for the painting where to confront with canons traditionally linked to the construction of the image in Latin America as the obsession by the narration. In his work, the artist proposes the alternative of a constructive and spatial tension where the painting goes out of its own limits to appropriate the space. The work of Jorge Cabieses is developed in a variety of supports such as canvas, wood, lithographic images of the time and paper, in all of them the artist proposes a new way of looking at painting.
Statement
Inaugurated at the end of 2001, the Fernando Pradilla Gallery aims to promote and disseminate contemporary art that takes place in Latin America and Spain, acting as a bridge of knowledge of artistic expressions from both continents.
Since its inception, the strategy has been based on the identification of artists, both emerging, mid-career and historical, and on the programming of individual and collective exhibitions in Madrid and other Latin American cities. The gallery participates in international art fairs in Latin America, Asia, Europe, and promotes the representation of its artists in biennials, awards, competitions, and exhibitions in national and international art centers.
