Feliciano Centurión : I Am Awake: 1992–1996

19 Sep-27 Oct 2019

Overview

The first London exhibition of the celebrated Paraguayan artist Feliciano Centurión. Centurión, who died aged 34 in 1996 from the complications of AIDS, was a central figure of the ‘Arte Light’ movement of the late 80s, linked to the Ricardo Rojas Cultural Center in Buenos Aires. These artists were known for their flamboyant, irreverent works that embodied progressive attitudes to sexuality and lifestyle, emerging in tandem with the fall of right-wing dictatorships across Latin America.
