CONTEMPORARY

Wilmer Leonardo Useche (Cúcuta, Colombia, 1984), Fine Artist and Architect (University of Pamplona, 2007), has had an interest in exploring the close relationship between art and architecture since the beginning of his career. Although he has experimented with engraving, photography, and painting, drawing has remained the central axis of his work, not only as a preparatory tool in the creative process, but as an end in itself.

His work continually combines apparently opposing elements that, in the process, reach a certain balance, such as abstraction and figuration, the ordered and the random, the measured and the baroque, the classic and the contemporary. Much of his work is made on such a traditional and fragile material as paper, but always using banal or conventional materials such as pens or markers.

He has exhibited regularly since 2005 in museums, galleries, and institutional spaces in Colombia and abroad, both collectively and individually, including the Museo de Inmigrantes de Buenos Aires (MUNTREF), the Museo Nacional de Colombia as part of the Bienal Sur, and the Museo de Arte Moderno de Bucaramanga and Pamplona. Regional salons such as SRA XVI and SRA XVII, commercial galleries such as the José Amar Gallery in Medellín, and the Feria del Millón version 2020. He has also received awards such as a nomination for the Eeckman Prize 2020, the Sara Modiano Prize for the Arts VII, and the "Salón del Agua" Award in versions XI and XII.
