Andrés Bedoya’s work reflects upon the complex and rich history of the Andean region of Latin America. Bedoya explores the origin of belief systems, rituals and objects, reconstructing them within an abstracted biographical narrative. This includes both historical and contemporary practices, from pre-Columbian cultures to those imposed during the Spanish colonial era to those maintained today. The works that comprise his oeuvre make an oblique reference to various sources, such as the Inca metallurgy, Roman Catholic iconography, monetary systems, and the folklore of contemporary Bolivia. Most recently, Bedoya’s installation, titled “Moscas,” was on view in El Dorado at the Americas Society in New York City and was acquired by LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art).
