Fernando Uhía

Fernando Uhía (Bogotá, 1967) began his artistic production in the nineties, and since then he has inquired about contemporary artistic practice, especially through painting. His artwork scrutinizes massive consumption, popular culture, and the relationship between the display of images and the viewer’s gaze —increasingly mediated by screens, billboards and consumption goods. He has participated in the Bienal de la Habana (2009), and the Salón Nacional de Artistas (2004 and 2006) and was awarded the Luis Caballero Prize (2007). His work is part of the collections of the Banco de la República de Colombia and Museo La Tertulia, Cali, Colombia. He currently lives and works in Bogotá, Colombia.
