FAREWELL TO ALBERTO BOREA, PERUVIAN ARTIST
Recognized artist, Borea distinguished himself with his openness to diverse media where time, memory and history become of fundamental importance in his visual discourse.
In the work of Borea, the idea of Ruin and disaster, both material and social, are constant theoretical axes in their facilities as in their objects and collages. The idea of centers and peripheries as well as the idea of progress and modernity are central concerns and part of the conceptual development of their artistic processes.
In his expression, Borea placed special emphasis on movements and the ideas of transit and identity. This is why the heterogeneity of the media and techniques he used are a reflection of both imaginary and real contexts where political, historical and identity issues are translated into contemporary visual codes.
