Ivan Perera
Bio
Ivan Perera (Cuba, 1993) is an artist who graduated from the University of the Arts in Cuba. Important scholarships have been awarded to him in the United States, Latin America and Europe. His work has been exhibited in various Cuban galleries and in numerous countries, both personal and group exhibitions, and as part of cultural events. Since his beginnings in art, he has worked with the object as a body that provides conceptual duality and challenges his own limits.
Statement
Perera's work has been influenced by literature. Book titles, diverse narratives about the same event, or the repetition of debatable phenomena that are assumed to be true in the culture, are the starting point for establishing questions about history as a tool of power, religious faith, death, and the body in western thought. In his proposals, objects supplant the body as containers of vital information.
