Author Description

Retrospective dedicated to abstract painter Armando Williams (Lima 1956) comprising nearly seventy pieces that retrospectively review four decades of his artistic work. "Characterized for his abstractionism Armando Williams' painting can be described as a constant formal search where, as Sharon Lerner puts it "models and patterns remind of puzzles, shifting territories or anonymous archipelagos" and are gradually charged with meaning through to their allusions to concrete realities such as the landscapes, flora and fauna of the Peruvian Amazon or the cultural expressions -like spirituality and traditional medicine- of the inhabitants of this region of the country." --Page 5.
