A Deliberate Defiance
The Art of Luis Caballero (1943-95) The Colombian artist was brought up in a Catholic culture which he found restrictive of his gay, creative personality. After 1963 he studied in Paris where he was able to express his sexuality and was influenced by De Kooning and Francis Bacon. His artwork, despite his intense, sometimes violent, imagery, is rooted in the draughtsmanship of Renaissance and Classical models.
Caballero died of an Aids related illness in 1995. The heading, 'A Deliberate Defiance', comes from a posthumous exhibition of his work mounted in 2024.
