Gustavo Fares is a visual artist,
curator and critic, originally from Argentina,
residing in the United States since 1985.
Fares holds a Professor Degree in Painting
and Drawing from the "Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredon" in
Buenos Aires, Argentina. He undertook post-graduate studies at the "Escuela
Superior de Bellas Artes Ernesto de la Carcova" in the same city. After settling in
the United States, Fares completed a Master in Painting and Lithography at West Virginia University, and Ph. D. Certificate in Cultural Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. There he received grants
from the Tinker and Andrew W. Mellon foundations. He has exhibited his
work in the United States, Argentina,
Spain, France, and Mexico.
In his works, Fares uses traditional
materials, such as oil and acrylic on canvas or paper, as well as computer generated
images and collages. Fares’ visual interests include the exploration of imagery
linked to Latin American marginal representations of the Sacred, of the
limits and possibilities of painting as a medium, and of topological spaces as they relate to the philosophy of
language. |
