The series "Gazes" by Colombian artist Guillermo Vellez reveals the mastery of its author. Created without prior study, each layer is directly drawn on the silk screen, composing a frieze of great dramatic intensity and suggestive chromaticism punctuated by black. Tormented images that remind us of important references in contemporary art, such as Francis Bacon, and a gallery of expressive characters with a timeless human face that Goya shaped in his engravings.
