Felipe Bedoya

Felipe Bedoya's work can be understood as a displacement in which he reflects on his idea of home:
An island built from fragments that house memory, shelter loneliness and where the artist's origin
always dwells as an aesthetic reference. He starts from his village to make the unknown visible:
Social phenomena and biodiversity are the engine of migratory processes that dialogue with each
other to highlight a specific reality. Bedoya reflects on vital practices that concern all living
beings, ensuring that his work can be extrapolated and interpreted globally. Think of photography
as the superposition of objects that make up an image, the artist breaks down the original record,
classifying and selecting the elements that build the foundations of his narrative. In this
isolation, the image is stripped of its reproducible load to be integrated into a plastic language
typical of drawing, which aims to reconfigure the original meaning of the pieces that make up his
work. This exercise of comprehension, isolation and translation of reality displaces the digital
into the realm of the analog, inviting the viewer to question the technical nature of a work where
the limits that frame it are mediated by emptiness, distance and silence
