Walter Pelorosso | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Walter Pelorosso is from Cañuelas, in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. With a touch of humour he claims to be ""a kind of modern Rousseau "", sharing his time between the reality of a bank job and his passion for painting. He lives upholding respect, passion, friendship, love and fun, which he considers to be the five pillars of his equilibrium and development.\n For him, it is crucial to present and not represent. One must invent, creating a new reality through art. And so he chose to follow in the footsteps of the great masters of geometric abstraction of the early twentieth century, seeking to retain the essence of the Argentine art movements of the 40’s such as ""Arte Concreto Invención"" and ""Arte Madí"".\n At the age of 30, he decided to further his knowledge and began a Bachelor of Visual Arts. He says that he was overwhelmed by this new form of language and sought to exploit it to the best of his ability to develop his own style. Contemplation and creativity then became two essential and inseparable actions in the eyes of the artist. Since then, he has regularly attended university to take courses in graphic design and video and has learned to do his work in 2D and 3D installations. The artist describes his style as ""geometric, conservative and composed."" He focuses on the invention of new spaces. Walter seeks to create something new, without any references. He advocates geometry as a pure, concrete and timeless art, whose mastery requires the utmost attention to detail. Lines must be perfect, shapes carefully assembled and colours solid. Over time, Walter Pelorosso pushes the content of his compositions by incorporating a brand new element. He now offers us paintings done in acrylic, in which he creates collages with newspaper clippings. Carriers of various information, they give a new and different meaning to each of his works.
