Rosemberg Sandoval
Known for his highly political art practice involving the use of his body, of discarded and symbolically charged materials, Rosemberg Sandoval uses drawing, sculpture, photography and performace to configure installations in diverse formats that reference notions of morality, death, uncertainty, absence, memory, exile, and extermination. Through a coherent and poignant body of work, Sandoval proves that art is an effective means for questioning values and bringing to light the disparate character of our society. Rosemberg Sandoval was born in 1959 in Cartago, Valle, Colombia. He studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Cali and at the Universidad del Valle. He has exhibited widely both individually and collectively in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, and Colombia. His work can be found in collections including Daros in Zurich, MoMA in New York, Halle Collection in Arizona, MAMBO Bogotá, Museo la Tertulia in Cali, Museo de Arte Moderno in Cartagena, Museo de Arte Moderno in Barranquilla and Casas Riegner Gallery in Bogotá.
“The subjects that are treated in Sandoval’s pieces are nothing more and nothing less than what he sees in his immediate surroundings; they are, simply, real. The drama, the pain, and the dirt are shown starkly not only because the artist makes this decision but also because reality often presents itself starkly in the eyes of the people”
