About

Uribe's work encompasses text, drawing, collage, painting and sculpture, providing a Latin American perspective on the dynamics of domination and power created by Western art historical teaching. Assuming the received narratives but refusing to accept them, Uribe represents them in a way that intersects humor, irony and irreverence towards the dominance and privileges associated with Western canonical works, as well as the cult of their artists. By appropriating and imitating other artists he reveals affection for their work, while at the same time mocking the conventions of contemporary gallery culture and the expectations of the public.
