German Tellez, a Colombian migrant artist, explores themes of dislocation and cultural identity through his latest paintings in the exhibition 'Shipwreck.' Focusing on the experiences of moving to a new culture, Tellez's figures embody feelings of confusion and searching, surrounded by familiar objects yet depicting anguish. His technique emphasizes intricate details like hands and feet, enhancing the emotional weight of each piece. Through 'Sacred Geometries,' Tellez invites viewers to witness the often disorienting experience of immigrants who must reconcile their expectations with challenging realities.
Reality is rarely what it seems, and even less often what one expects. In an age of fake news, ever-changing circumstances, and a lack of security, confronting reality and the feeling of not fitting in can be overwhelming.
In his latest series of paintings, Sacred Geometries, Tellez explores the unknown as a fundamental human experience. Drawing from his own life, he now delves into the experience of encountering another culture.
