PORNORAMA @ DOTFIFTYONE GALLERY
Dot Fiftyone gallery is proudly presenting two simultaneous exhibitions:
“Timeless”, first US exhibition by Argentinean artist Hernán Cédola.
First floor main gallery.
“Pornorama” by Colombian artist, living in Miami, Gonzalo Fuenmayor.
Second floor project room.
In addition to “Timeless” opening, Dot Fiftyone will be unveiling the same Saturday April 11th, (at the gallery’s project room): “Pornorama” by Gonzalo Fuenmayor.
CLICK HERE FOR A PREVIEW OF THE EXHIBITION
“Pornorama” is the name of the exhibition proposed by this young Colombian artist living in Miami with an MFA from School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA for Dot Fiftyone’s project room. Art installation, photography and drawing comprise Fuenmayor’s presentation.
“Pornoramas”, Fuenmayor’ series of Mylar drawings resemble quicksands, more so than drawings. Each drawing is composed of two juxtaposed Mylar sheets drawn on each side, which converge together creating a multilayered landscape. The surface simultaneously deceives and reveals itself when the capricious gaze decides to caress its uneven surface as it attempts to swallow the spectator. Abstraction, figuration, desire and pornography camouflage themselves in a metaphorical panorama that is triggered solely through the gaze.
In the landscape painting tradition there has always been a distance between what is looked upon and what is portrayed. In this case, the landscape becomes internal, chaotic, portraying imaginary scenes around Banana Republics. The banana with its long, tragic and phallic history has been the pretext to explore memory, desire and the decorative distance between reality and fantasy.
While the drawings rely on transparencies and layers to present a metaphorical landscape of Banana Republics, the photography and the installation focuses on ideas of visibility, colonization and violence through transient oxidized drawings on bananas.
Gonzalo Fuenmayor is a Colombian artist currently based in Miami. He received his MFA from School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA in 2004, and a BFA in Fine Arts and Art Education from School of Visual Arts in 2000, where he was awarded a full tuition scholarship from the Keith Haring Foundation. His drawings are included in the Flat Files of the Drawing Center in NY, and has been awarded numerous awards including the Stacey Sussman’s Traveling Award in 2000, Silas Rhodes Family Award in 2000, and recently in 2007, an Honorable Mention from Concurso Fernando Botero. Gonzalo Fuenmayor has exhibited in solo and group shows in the USA, Colombia as well as in Europe; recently he participated at “Laberintos” Group Show at Galeria MUNDO in Bogota, COL, as well as representing Colombia at the V International Biennial of Standards at Centro Cultural Tijuana, Tijuana, MX. This is the artist’s Miami gallery debut.
