ABSTRACTUS (Steevens and Velez)
ABSTRACTUS (Steevens and Velez)
Colombia
Ximena Steevens and Mauricio Velez are the artist duet known as Abstractus since 2002, when they decided to condense all of their material and conceptual experimentation and research (personal and aesthetic) within a concept, to reflect the truth in ways that help to find freedom from the turbulent world around us. Theirs, has been an evolutionary process of shared exploration throughout Europe, US, Canada and Latin America. Their work draws from the use of collective thoughts and interpretations from life’s distinctive array of facets, comprised by emotional crossing motivated by their relationship (they are married) and distinct aesthetic experiences.

    Commentary

  • “Present human existence as a paradoxical fact is the core of Abstractus’ work. Through art, they try to disturb, or at least question the alienation that we all love so much, while unsustainable future is under construction by careless insiders in this impassive chaos.”
