Lives and works in Bogotá, Colombia
Nadín Ospina
Nadín Ospina's playful, ironic, and witty work subverts the usual expectations of Latin American art. He presents modified versions of pre-Columbian stone, ceramic, or metal sculptures by placing the heads of Walt Disney’s fabled world of animals on figures of pre-Columbian myth. Thus Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, or Pluto decorate “ancient” ceramic or stone sculptures; a statue from San Agustín in Colombia is crowned with Bart Simpson’s head. All these objects are authentic forgeries, produced by local specialists after the original models.
Not only does the artist elicit the viewer’s amused surprise; his objects also broach the merging of different cultures. Ospina traces the infiltration of Latin American cultures by the culture of the United States and also refers more generally to the hybridization of his own culture and that of others in recent centuries.
The question of identity, so often posed in Latin America, is answered here in a friendly, cheerful way but with a slightly bitter tone: the true original lives on only as an object of study or status in precious collections. In our daily routine today nothing is authentic any longer; everything is permeated by countless influences that have lastingly contaminated the noble idea of the original. True identity is now found only in fusion.
