Christian Saucedo – Friday October 28, 6-10pm

Join us in celebrating the work of Christian Saucedo, CAD’s resident artist from Mexico who has been working in Chicago for the last three months towards an exhibition featuring his installation work.  ESQUINAS is an exhibit made of a series of visual pieces realized on architectural spaces through implicit experimentation of visual arts. This series is inspired by op art and is created with the help of architectural spaces, such as ceilings, walls, floors, etc., through deformed abstract drawings to obtain images dependent on the observer’s movement through said spaces.

Christian Saucedo was born in Durango, Mexico, in 1981 and is a Visual Artist with studies in Architecture at Durango Institute of Technology. In 2008, he received a M.Ph. in Visual Arts from the Academy of San Carlos at National School of Arts UNAM (Mexico) and the School of Architecture at the University of Sevilla (Spain). His work is linked with the concept of art-space and its close relationship with architecture and digital technology.
