GRIMM is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Arturo Kameya's Bones and cages (2023) by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, FL (US).
Arturo Kameya captures Peru’s sociopolitical complexity through an image mining of parallel cultures and events from his adolescence in the 1990s through today. In his paintings, images with various thematic frameworks are interwoven to create constellations that question the plasticity of history and underscore the instability of the future. The quick and subtle uprisings of subcultures and their temporal fragility, how easily they can be forgotten, signify broader existential concerns. For Kameya, memories of the past and inquiries into contemporary culture can offer a roadmap to an uneasy future.
Exhibition history:
Los Ovnis, GRIMM, New York, NY (US), 24 March - 6 May 2023
