Drawing from found images that she has amassed throughout her life in Colombia \u2013 ranging from tattered reproductions of revered paintings from Western art history to newspaper clippings reporting on violent murder, conflict and loss \u2013 Gonz\u00e1lez transforms her sources through her work. Playfully addressing the dominating influence of Western iconography, questioning socially constructed ideas of taste, confronting complex histories of violence, and paying homage to displaced communities, she reveals how images reflect power dynamics on a personal and political scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Challenging conventional hierarchies of value imposed on specific mediums or cultures, Gonz\u00e1lez experiments with myriad media, including painting, prints, furniture-objects (beds, tables and TVs), monumental painted backdrops, and large-scale installations occupying public spaces. Rooted in and responding to a specific Colombian context, her work addresses pressing concerns ranging from political violence to the climate crisis and the lives of Indigenous communities while remaining deeply resonant to contemporary global politics and speaking to universal human concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Art says things that history cannot<\/em><br>\u2013 Beatriz Gonz\u00e1lez<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This exhibition is co-produced by Pinacoteca de S\u00e3o Paulo (30 August 2025 \u20131 February 2026), Barbican, London (25 February \u2013 10 May 2026), and Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo (12 June \u201311 October 2026).<\/em> <em>Curated by Pollyana Quintella and Natalia Guti\u00e9rrez at Pinacoteca de S\u00e3o Paulo, Lotte Johnson at the Barbican Centre, and in Oslo by Solveig \u00d8vsteb\u00f8, Director at Astrup Fearnley Museet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Astrup Fearnley Museet presents a retrospective of Beatriz Gonz\u00e1lez (1932\u20132026).
