Mateo López

Colombian artist Mateo López (b. 1978) has caught the attention of leading curators in the Americas and Europe with his innovative drawings and installations. Interested in expanding the scope of art on paper, López draws upon his early studies of architecture, considering the medium as a it relates to time and space, and in three dimensions rather than in two. Many of his installations reflect his itinerant lifestyle and his peculiar way of incorporating these experiences into his works. His exhibition "Topografía anecdótica" (2008) was a narrative built on drawings, objects, and photographs from a 2,153 km motorcycle trip through Colombia. The installation Viaje sin movimiento [Travelling without movement] (2008-2010) was acquired by New York's Museum of Modern Art. In 2010, the project "Ping Pong, a visual dialogue – 31 topics through 62 images – with artist José Antonio Suárez" was presented at Art Basel.
