Ariane Beyn Book order

The exhibition at Ikon consists of new work that extends Andrade Tudela's interest in materials, value, scale and the relationships between them. A number of sculptures derived from minimalist objects, are made from rattan. The weave of this material, layer on layer, produces a psychedelic effect that is characteristic of how the artist employs repetition, rhythm and colour in order to suggest a hallucinatory way of seeing. Thus the artist signals his interest in the possibilities of transforming human perception, making strong reference to sixties counter-culture. Underpinning Andrade Tudela's Ikon project is an installation in a suburban villa in Lima, reflecting the influence of vernacular Peruvian architecture upon his practice. Organised in collaboration with MALI, the Museum of Art, Lima, it took place in October 2009.
