JORGE TACLA: STAGINGS/ESCENARIOS
Prior to this body of work, Tacla largely excluded the human figure from his paintings, letting buildings and rubble suggest a human presence or intervention. His practice shifted after personally processing images of political rallies in the U.S., Chile, Lebanon and Hong Kong, China, in 2019-20. «October 25, 2019, #4 (2022)» is emblematic of this new mode, depicting some of the estimated 1.2 million protesters that gathered across Chile’s capital, Santiago.
MIGUEL ÁNGEL ROJAS: YO, USTED Y EL CLAN
«Yo, usted y el Clan» at Casas Riegner, Bogotá, surveys the career of famed Colombian artist Miguel Angel Rojas.

Only last year, his expansive show at the Museo de Arte Moderno Bogotá (MAMBO) Regreso a la Maloca (2021) placed a particular emphasis on the exploitation and conflict in the Amazonas region in southern Colombia. At Casas Riegner, the emphasis is a bit broader and retrospective in tone.
