Iván Candeo

Iván Candeo’s artistic practice explores the formulas in which visual representation discourses operate and develop. He addresses and confronts the relationship between image, movement and history, being able to identify a series of contradictions and paradoxes, something he does as an intermediary, making the images cross different support systems.

From a very young age he was part of an independent studio group made up of artists from different generations. In 2008 he obtained the title of Professor, with specialization in Plastic Arts. He participated in the artistic residency Lugar a Dudas, directed by the artist Óscar Muñoz, in Cali, Colombia. In 2014, at the Casa sin fin gallery in Madrid, he held his first solo exhibition in Spain with the title Identidad y ruptura [Identity and rupture]. Master in Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Thought at Pompeu Fabra University. Among his solo exhibitions: Hay un Goya en la sopa [There is a Goya in the soup], Alarcón Criado Gallery, Seville, Spain (2022); Sin Acto [Actless], Carmen Araujo Arte Gallery, Caracas, Venezuela (2018); Correspondencias del Ultramar #2 [Overseas Correspondences #2]: Núria Güell and Iván Candeo, Sala Mendoza, Caracas, Venezuela (2017); Corte En Movimiento [Cut In Motion], Office #1, Caracas, Venezuela (2015).
