2010.144a-hhh ANDRADE TUDELA

This work is from a phase in Armando Andrade Tudela’s practice when he first exhibited outside Peru, exploring Latin American 'everyday' modernist forms and their reception elsewhere. Its 60 slides each document a truck seen on numerous trips on Peruvian highways and record truck owners painting abstract murals onto their vehicles. The paintings bring to mind references ranging from 1970s graphic design to corporate logos. Viewed in an art museum, audiences might read in them the legacy of geometric abstract painting by artists such as Kenneth Noland, Frank Stella or Ellsworth Kelly. Contemporary re-evaluations of modernist histories explore the ideas and aesthetics of Modernism as they have developed outside Europe and the United States; here, Andrade Tudela points to the many overlapping histories through which images are generated, translated and interpreted.
