Summary

1. A catalogue of drawings created almost obsessively in the last decade by noted contemporary artist José Antonio Suárez Londoño (b. Medellín, Colombia 1955) mostly in small pieces of papers. All dated, some are signed and include notes. Artist and poet Elkin Restrepo comments "Of this multiple source that he manufactures in an imaginary or realistic way, contradicting and putting in a different place from where he left his previous drawing, for fun, and just for that, this extraordinary inventory of animals, people, things, desires, and dreams, fantasies and memories has been born and soon has reached the form of a very particular language without many antecedents, on one side he keeps Degas, and on the other, his scheme of splendid forms that pays tribute to the most dislocated beauty." (Our translation) --P. 97.
