Ana Mercedes Hoyos
January 26 to February 21, 2017
There are few artists who have had the good fortune to thoroughly review their early work at the end of their days and, upon revisiting it, find in those initial moments of their career a new motivation to return, with the experience of the path traveled, to the initial problems, and in this way enrich their work.
That is what happened to Ana Mercedes Hoyos, who, thanks to having had the vision to rigorously document all of her work from a very early age, and who, despite the strong attacks she received in the 70s and 80s for the radical nature of her work, decided with love and conviction to keep for herself a large part of those works, which were rejected by the general public at the time and which over time have regained their significance and historical value, not only within her own artistic process, but in that of the history of national and Latin American art.
