Bororo
Bio
Artist belonging to Chilean neo-expressionism. Identified with the generation of 80, he was born in Santiago de Chile on November 10, 1953. In 1972 he entered the School of Art of the University of Chile, where he graduated. In 1981 he worked as a full professor at the same school. Bororo belongs to the so-called Generation of the 80s where they have been characterized by their intention to recover painting, gesture and the playful nature of art, lost in previous years.
Statement
Bororo's work is characterized by being gestural, intuitive brush strokes, expressive dripping and direct staining, without restrictions. The power of color and elemental drawing, with a very simple, almost childlike graphic, make up a universe that moves between the abstract and the figurative. There, the intensity and passion of the artist leads to a subjectivity that shapes different dimensions and perspectives on paper.
