Zelus – See Through

Individual exhibition of the artist Luz Helena Caballero. In this plastic research, she is interested in the lattice as a symbolic element that exercises control and surveillance, as a metaphor for concealment.

The lattice is an architectural element of great beauty, which plays with light and prevents us from seeing clearly. It is of Arab origin and is present in Latin American colonial architecture.

The latticework of the Santa Clara Church Museum, which inspired this research/creation project, limits the world of the cloister and the exterior. However, it is a fragile and beautiful limit that allows sounds and smells to pass through and allows us to guess some shadows of the women in cloister.

Artist review

Graduated from the Universidad de los Andes in Plastic Arts and from the Jorge Tadeo Lozano University in Fine Art. She completed a Master's Degree in Plastic, Electronic and Time Arts at the Universidad de los Andes. Her work has revolved around two-dimensional representation, insisting heavily on the expressive power of color. She has participated in group and individual exhibitions since 1989. She is currently a workshop professor at the Faculty of Art at the Universidad de los Andes. In her work, she insists on the validity of painting as a medium in which she finds multiple possibilities of expression, experimentation and hybridization with other ways of doing. The load of tradition inherent to painting feeds its narrative and at the same time allows it to connect, superimpose, fragment or interweave various positions and functions that the medium has had at different times in history.
