Lagos is the result of a work process using watercolor paper and resin. Paper as medium plays a main role here, as in previous series (Time Rings, Foundations or Fragments of Time). Resulting from an industry that sacrifices 4,000 million trees every year, Miler Lagos’ discourse brings selfawareness on the conservation of the environment. This runs across his entire artistic practice. Through applying tension on paper, Miler Lagos creates sculptural spaces. These are geographic metaphors, abstractions that evoke mountain formations and lakes in Colombian Andean landscape. The artist’s hand replicates acting forces in nature, and develops an intimate dialogue with the medium. It is the artisan’s touch that makes the outcome unique. Miler Lagos reflects on the processes that transform matter, either caused by natural tensions or the industry. It is here where water serves the artist to stage the tension between expansion and containment. Tension between opposite force vectors affects a liquid and its container, and in Lagos results in the solidification of water represented by resin.Descargar Nota de Prensa
