Nicolás Lamas

At Art-o-rama, Meessen De Clercq presents a solo project of Peruvian artist Nicolás Lamas, with a careful selection of the artist’s sculptures, photographs and paintings.

 

Nicolás Lamas’ work constantly revolves around the interaction between things, where they coexist and create other kind of associations, exchanges and potential combinations without established rules. His artistic research can be seen as a series of speculative exercises where everything is part of a cyclical process of transmission of information and energy.

 

It is important to think of Lamas’ practice as the result of a production process in constant flux; where intuition, chance, play and physics determine his connection with objects and images within specific contexts. Through different methodologies of research and production, several ideas take specific states and forms in each project. This generates a heterogeneous and changing body of work with multiple layers of reference and meaning. A system where things create complexity in other logics and everything fluctuates between order and chaos.
