Beatriz Esguerra Art: For decades, artists from Colombia have been revolutionizing the concept of art on paper. Alongside traditional drawing techniques, these innovative and daring Colombian artists have taken this adaptable medium to new heights, making the physical support a crucial element in their creations.

Despite their diverse styles, all the artworks are connected by the artists’ instinctive manipulation of the medium, turning it into an integral aspect of the composition. By cutting, scraping, tearing, marking, and/or scratching various paper-based supports, the artists in this exhibition imbue their creations with a sculptural essence. See the work in booth F13.
