Nadín Ospina - The persistence of desire (Giraffes-Tower of Pisa). Unique piece
Technique: Plastic 3D printing (polylactic acid - Precise PLA)
Artist Biography: Nadín Ospina (Bogotá, Colombia, 1960). He holds a PhD in Fine Arts from the Jorge Tadeo Lozano University in Bogota. Nadín Ospina's work is directed to the detection and reaffirmation of cultural fusions and interactions, the allegorical representation of symbolic encounters as a metaphor of contemporary historical events, humor as a tool for reflection, the appeal to the imagery of Pop culture with the consequent reappearance of fantastic beings and pre-Columbian references. The concepts of "the Other", "otherness", "alterity", have been fundamental topics of social science studies in their attempt to explain the problems intrinsic to human interaction. In Ospina's work, the idea of "the other" as opposed to the concept of identity, defines the experience of confrontation with the strange, the foreign, the different, the distant, the uncertain. His extensive career has been recognized with numerous awards and recognitions, such as the Prize of the XXXIV Salón Nacional de Artistas de Colombia in 1992 or the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 1997. She was awarded the Garnier Prize, Lyon, France, 2000; XX International Biennial of Sao Paulo, Parque do Ibirapuera, Sao Paulo, Brazil (1989). His work is represented in international collections such as the Pérez Art Museum, Miami, USA; Ludwing Forum, Aachen, Germany; Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde, Leiden, Holland; Daros Latin American Collection, Zurich, Switzerland; Museum of the Americas, Denver, Colorado; Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth; Museo de Bellas Artes de Caracas, Venezuela; Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá (MAMBO), Colombia, among others.
