ART BASEL 2009

 

Darío Escobar is known for his sculptural recontextualization of everyday objects. Born in Guatemala (1971), his Catholic background and interest in local history became sources of inspiration for a body of work that combines mass-produced objects, craft techniques, and religious iconography.

 

Born in 1971, in Guatemala, Dario Escobar began his career in the late 90's with his well known "baroque meets today type" series of works. Escobar's interest in history and art led him to study at the Museo de Arte Colonial (Antigua Guatemala) where he learned techniques used in the 17th century as to build and repair baroquial artwork.
