Delcy Morelos

Delcy Morelos (Córdoba, Colombia, 1967) studied at the Cartagena School of Fine Arts. Her practice is rooted in ancestral Andean cosmovision and the aesthetics of Minimal Art. Morelos’ abstract works, with their formidable evocations, inspire rumination on the interplay between human beings and earth, the human body and materiality. In her early works, Morelos focused primarily on painting, applying natural red pigments to paper. Her chromatic research directed her attention to the intersection between body and violence. Over time, her material investigations extended into ceramics and textiles, and this work, along with her continued use of natural materials such as earth, clay, fabric, and plant fibers, led her to gradually develop a more sculptural practice, and, more recently, large-scale multisensory installations. She has presented solo exhibitions at CAAC Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville, the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, Dia Chelsea, Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, Fundación NC-Arte in Bogotá, Röda Sten Konsthall, and the Museo de Arte Moderno de Barranquilla, among others. She has also participated in the 59th Venice Biennale (2022), the Aichi Triennale, Japan (2022), the 7th Mercosur Biennial, Porto Alegre, Brazil (2009), ES2002 Tijuana / II International Biennial at Centro Cultural Tijuana (CECUT), Mexico (2002), and the 6th Havana Biennial, Cuba (1997). She lives and works in Bogotá.She lives and works in Bogotá.
