SUMMARY:SVAD Distinguished Artist Series: Gonzalo Fuenmayor
URL:https://events.ucf.edu/event/4236033/svad-distinguished-artist-series-gonzalo-fuenmayor/
DESCRIPTION:The UCF School of Visual Arts & Design is proud to welcome artist Gonzalo Fuenmayor as part of the SVAD Distinguished Artist Series.\n\nGonzalo is a Miami-based artist who works primarily with drawing. He has been concerned about the effects of modernization and progress not only on natural environments, but mostly on Latin American culture and its ways of being displayed internationally through stereotypes and common places. His aim seems to be not exclusively to denounce banalization but also to understand its aesthetic mechanisms and cultural power.\n\nFuenmayor received his BFA in Fine Arts and Art Education from UCF's School of Visual Arts in 2000, and his MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 2004.\n\nFuenmayor has been awarded numerous awards including a Traveling Fellowship by the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2014, 2015 South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship for Visual and Media Artists, a 2018 Ellies Creator Award, 2020 EFG Bank Latin American Award and a Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant in 2022, among others.\n\nHe has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in USA, Latin America and Europe. His work is part of numerous private and public collections across the country. \n\nThe SVAD Distinguished Artist Series is an initiative that introduces the UCF students and community to professional and emerging contemporary artists in various fields of study.  \nThose attending will enjoy a lecture from Gonzalo on his artistic practice and will also have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session afterwards. \n\nThis event is FREE and open to the public.
