Booth FR11

Proyectos Ultravioleta’s booth in the Frame section,  is devoted to the work of Jorge de León, who is based in Guatemala. On view is a serie of simple, untitled line drawings from Mr. de León’s “Homo-Logo”. Series showing faceless figures in a variety of positions, including looking in the mirror and lying on the floor.

Mr. de León learned to draw by making tattoos when he was young and was member of a street gang. Afterwards he went to art school and embarked on a career depicting urban situations.

Most of his works are “linked to the body and how it acts in determined contexts, like the city and its eternal contradictions.”
