Eclipsed Legacies
Leon Tovar Gallery is pleased to showcase works by pioneering Colombian artists: Doris Salcedo, Carlos Rojas, Santiago Cárdenas, Omar Rayo, and Eduardo Ramirez Villamizar. These artists played a fundamental role in developing Colombian Conceptualism, as well as Geometric Abstraction, Constructivism, Informalism, and Optical Art - in which they excelled.
This exhibition reflects their tireless pursuit of artistic innovation through the exploration of novel materials while highlighting how they infused their cultural roots into their works. Leon Tovar Gallery aims to showcase the distinct yet interconnected practices of these artists, celebrating their excellence across artistic movements and exploring the common threads that unite these avant-garde Colombian explorations.
