Fernando Otero : MultiMedia Master
Fernando Otero was born in Lima (1972). He left the Fine Arts at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú in 1994. The artist works within a large range of media including painting, sculpture, installation, and light installation. "The Building and its Artifacts" was Otero's first solo show in the UK. He had his first solo show in South America in 2004 and has presented works at many revered institutions such as Museo de Bellas Artes in Santiago de Chile, MAC in Lima, the Museum of Latin American Art in California, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santiago de Chile.
The show titled 'The Building and its Artifacts" which was held in London,UK, in January, 2015 is like all of Fernando's work revolving around the idea of the salvaging and reusing of objects from the personal collections of Otero. As well it looks at the artist's relationship with Architecture. "Two things I have always done is constructing and collecting, I find myself in the midst of two different types of process.”
