La Pascasia honors Antonio Samudio with new exhibition
When Antonio Samudio died last February 15, at the age of 91, he had spent more than six decades building a body of work that turned Colombian engraving into much more than a technique, with expressive and precise works, traversed by voluminous female figures and irony about the human condition.
TL;DR
- La Pascasia is inaugurating "Otro silencio," an exhibition of paintings and engravings by artist Antonio Samudio.
- The exhibition opens two months after Samudio's death on February 15.
- Works are sourced from collections of the Public Library Piloto, Corporación Otraparte, Colección SURA, and personal friends of the artist.
