The proposal brings together works by Gregorio Cuartas (Medellín, 1938), Diego Arango (Medellín, 1946), and Juliana Correa (Medellín, 1967), three Colombian artists from different generations whose practices draw on references as diverse as architecture, landscape, the city, and textile materials. While each has developed a distinct visual language, all three share an interest in transforming observation and lived experience into distilled visual forms in which synthesis and abstraction play a central role.

In Gregorio Cuartas’s work, architecture becomes an exercise in reduction and balance, where form, color, and proportion create spaces that oscillate between representation and abstraction. Diego Arango draws on myth, memory, and observation to create images of remarkable formal freedom, populated by symbols and archetypes. Juliana Correa works through accumulation, assemblage, and the transformation of textile materials to construct compositions that evoke the city, its structures, and its social dynamics. Rather than representing the world as it is, these artists propose distinct ways of interpreting, reorganizing, and reconstructing it through art.

The selection also reflects an interest in bringing into dialogue significant trajectories within Colombian visual culture that have developed outside the country’s traditional centers of artistic recognition. By presenting a master such as Gregorio Cuartas alongside later-generation artists like Diego Arango and Juliana Correa, the proposal seeks to reaffirm the relevance of artistic legacies that deserve broader international visibility while contributing to a richer and more diverse understanding of contemporary Colombian art.
