페드로 로이즈(Pedro Ruiz), 콜롬비아, 현대미술가, 1957-현재
콜롬비아의 '페드로 로이즈'는 유럽과 남미에서 인정받고 있는 현대미술가입니다. 한 편의 시처럼 느껴지는 그의 그림들은 '개념 미술 (Conceptual Art)'의 작품이랍니다.
'개념 미술'은 물질적인 면보다 비물질적 측면을 강조하는 스타일로, 작품의 미적 느낌보다는 작가의 창의적인 아이디어와 제작과정을 더 중요시 여기는 미술사조입니다.
'페드로 로이즈' 역시 나비와 나무 정글 새 호랑이 과일가게 등을 배에다 싣고 가는 모습을 효과적으로 표현하여, '자연과 인간이 조화롭게 살아야 한다'는 개념을 전달하고 있습니다.
About Him
Pedro Ruiz's work occupies itself with social and political issues that affect countries worldwide. Nature and the concept that it is a force that we cannot control and must live in harmony with, is ever-present in his works. Ruiz has developed four fundamental series through paintings and installations: Love is in the Air, Displacements, Gold, and Colombianas Light.
Pedro Ruiz is today one of Colombia’s most important artists. Knighted by the French Government with the Order of the Arts and Letters and Ambassador to Unicef for his strong commitment to translating his artistic messages into social projects, Ruiz has the ability to connect with the public’s minds and hearts. In a poetic and aesthetic manner, this artist addresses political and social issues that have affected him, his country and the world: social displacement, the spraying of drug crops and its effect on nature, aggressive mining and destruction of nature by multinational companies and its effect on the rural population and the contrast between urban and rural living, among other themes.
Pedro Ruiz develops his works through projects. He is an outstanding painter and sculptor and uses his academic foundations to develop artistic projects that are edgy and contemporary. It is this successful combination, that has placed him as one of Latin America’s rising stars. In recent years his project “Gold, A Spirit of Nature and Territory” has traveled to many countries (see CV) stirring the public’s inner most feelings and impacting these countries’ artistic communities. Two beautiful coffee table books have been published covering the rich evolution of his career.
