Omar Rayo

As the accompanying catalougue of exhibition LARUTAN ATUR AL at the gallery, the publication introduces Omar Rayo, a Colombian painter whose prints, reliefs and paintings spanned caricature, pop and op art. His most successful and iconic abstract works facilitated a discourse between Latin American visual culture and geometric abstraction, which he coupled with a pioneering method of shading that subverted the paradigm of flatness ubiquitous during the modern era.
