WILLIAM NARVÁEZ
Buga, Colombia, 1989.
Master of arts of the Departmental Institute of Fine Arts in Cali, Colombia. He has participated in group and solo exhibitions at a national level.
First place winner in CALCO 2016 of young artists from the city of Cali and winner of a residence Scholarship from the embassy of Colombia and Argentina through the Tres Pinos Foundation, which he is currently attending.
In his work, which includes techniques such as drawing, painting, photography and installation, two main themes interpellate and try to constantly be redefined: nature and art. On the one hand portrays and evokes, through natural materials, the grandeur and power of nature from the recreation of an inhospitable, irrepressible, admirable landscape. On the other hand, conscientiousness and calculation, enrolled in the various art techniques that appropriate and transform the natural, making this natural element or quality fragile and creating geographies, and territorialities. Gathered in his work, these two dimensions establish a univocal and critical discourse regarding value and power relationships in the contemporary landscape.
