ABOUT

Catherine Restrepo was born in Medellin (COL) and currently lives in New Orleans (USA); as multifaceted, as a polymorph, schooled in architecture, she is a creator who understands art as something open, where everything is possible, a catalyzer of external stimulations, therefore resulting in 'detritus' (debris, junk, rubble). Which is a reference point to see the rest of the world.

Her body of work makes a strong social and political critique that questions the traditionally held values that have shaped the face of the modern world and provide insights that fuel today's algid discussion about society. Her art synthesizes these aspects into images, rather than mere graphic compositions, through photomontages that incorporate symbolic and metaphoric referents, using the image as a language: technical experimentation by way of simulation / forgery.
