Adán Vallecillo (Danlí, Honduras, 1977) studied Sociology and Art in Honduras and Puerto Rico. The methodology of his practice is grounded in on-site research, aimed at reassigning materials and social situations that are then translated into an aesthetic language. His work in painting, sculpture, and installation—rooted in performance—explores the intersections between contemporary art and social criticism. Through his projects, he reflects on the unequal relations between Central and South America, the United States, and Europe, addressing themes such as consumption, waste, the exchange of goods and services, and extractivism. He had several solo and group shows in America, Europe and Asia. In 2020 he was awarded the mid-career artist grant, CIFO and the illy SustainArt Award, Venice, 2013. His work is part of the collections MARCO Monterrey, Bronx Museum, Daros Latin America, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection, MADC, LARA, among others.
