• Nicolás Gómez, Banco de la República, Colombia. He works as an artist, curator and art historian. Through the exploration with different media -mainly the painting and the sculpture- he goes to visual codes for the representation of the sensory and perceptive experience of the space. He works with objects and images that reveal the tensions between the artificial and the natural, and the sensory in relation to the systems of categorization and the measurement of science and language. Both in his artistic work and in his research work, he has deepened references to the rural and urban landscape in modern and contemporary art, as well as the development and validity of abstract art. Graduated from the Art program of the University de los Andes (Bogotá, 2008) and the Master of Science in Art History from Goldsmiths University (London, 2010). He has exhibited his work in Proartes (Cali, 2016), Lokkus Gallery (Medellín, 2016), Maca (Bogotá, 2016), Salón Comunal (Bogota, 2016), Pereira Art Museum (2015), Galería Nueveochenta , 2014), Doce Cero Cero Gallery (Bogotá, 2013), Valenzuela Klenner Gallery (Bogotá, 2013); Santa Fe Gallery (Bogotá, 2012) and Project Room of the Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá, 2007). He has been profesor at the Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá), Universidad de la Sabana (Bogotá) and Universidad del Tolima (Ibagué).
