Mateo Lpez Jos Antonio Surez Londoo

Jos Antonio Surez Londoo is a mystic of drawing. Daily, at every hour, he pays tribute to the medium. Mateo Lopez is a young artist who takes delight in the objects he draws. Suarez Londoo was born in 1955 and lives in Medellin. Mateo Lopez was born in 1976; he studied arts and architecture, and lives in Bogot. Due to their mutual admiration, these two artists initiated a dialogue a few years ago, through shared notebooks in which they took turns drawing. A series of notebooks give faith of the talent of these two Colombian artists.

With this experience in mind, Casas Riegner Gallery invited them to present a joint project for Art Basel, in which a dialogue between two generations was to take place. The artists accepted the challenge, and came up with a mechanism in which each wrote a set of words that would work as subject to their drawings. They were both to work on these themes, but separately: tree, abstract, architecture, house, song, reading, and geometry are only a sample of these ideas.

In the end, thirty-one topics that became sixty-two illustrations are the result of this playful game, which ended up being somewhat of a performance behind closed doors.
