Works by Alexander Zuleta
Alexander Zuleta (1984) is a visual artist who challenges contemporary classifications. He works with formal painting techniques and other experimental tendencies in painting. Mundane and poetic lyric, within everyday objects the fragility of cultures in Latin America and the world. Plus Readymade. One of the main themes has been a constant study influenced by childhood issues that have led him to investigate the existence of forms, objects and humanity, which make up the subject. And by questioning the reason for them; in space and time. His works and proposals have now responded to his personal concerns that are derived from concepts, reflections and emotional experiences of his country and abroad in public spaces and the questioning of the production of the new globalized world. Today his work is the object of being part of private collections in various parts of the world. To me, the people in the family album photos have always seemed alive, attractive and even beautiful. But the main inspiration for me to use them in my work has always been Alas! they no longer live. It’s years and decades now that their lives have ended and they are now being decomposed and decayed beneath the ground. But on the other hand, they are still with us; because of the photos that we have and this is the miracle and magic of image The artist says.
