Art Madrid'24 – Samuel Salcedo – Alchemist (2023)
about Samuel Salcedo
Barcelona, 1975
In Samuel Salcedo's artworks is possible to pose a deep reflection while amusing about the human condition. He studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona and Manchester. He works with different materials, getting to deceive the eye with what it seems and is not. Salcedo's works aim to emphasize the masked nature of human beings. An illusory condition, sometimes grotesque, often ridiculous but in some decent way, of the postmodern citizen. His sculptures and characters always question the viewer with its subtle irony and vulnerability. Since 1998, he exhibits in galleries and participates in international art fairs with 3 Punts Gallery. Salcedo has participated in solo exhibitions such as Bewilderment with 3 Punts Gallery, 100 Kubik in Cologne or Listen with the Robert Drees Gallery in Hannover. In addition to this, his has participated in contemporary art fairs such as Art Madrid, Swab, Frankfurt Art Fair, Art London, among others.
