WHAT WE KNOW

The Colombian figurative artist is undoubtedly one of the world’s most distinctive and influential artists. His signature style of Boterismo is immediately recognisable; depicting figures in large, exaggerated volumes within warm colourful settings, his works evoke not only the joie de vivre and warmth of Latin American culture, but also channel the artist’s unique expressions of political humour as well as criticism. As one of the most recognised and quoted living artists in Latin America, now audiences can enjoy this master’s works in Hong Kong, and especially admire several paintings that hung at his own home.
