April 16 inaugurates the exhibition "Blue Chromatics", paintings by Julio Hoyos Peña
Wednesday April 8, 2015
The Art Museum of San Marcos will present on Thursday April 16th, the latest exhibition of Peruvian artist Julio Hoyos Peña, Blue Chromatics, a selection of abstract oil paintings that characterizes his artistic production. The exhibition will be opened in the hall Vinatea Reinoso located at the Cultural Center of San Marcos at 7:00 pm.
Born in Abancay, Apurimac, Julio Hoyos studied at the National Superior School of Fine Arts of Peru. He worked as an assistant to Professor Ricardo Grau, later becoming his student. The approach to large painting in the arts greatly influenced his artistic career. After passing through the ENSABAP, Hoyos participated in several solo and group exhibitions. His career was divided between artistic production and teaching, becoming a recipient of the 2012 Horacio Zeballos Prize in painting, award given by the Derrama Magisterial.
From his inception in the artistic profession, Hoyos manifested his predilection for abstract forms. According to José Garden Wong, "the change plastic-pictorial from Julio guides his creativity towards achieving a very personal, intimate, characteristic of the current informalist universe. His work expresses a lyrical abstraction, and proposes questions through the 'doubt dialogue'. '' Pablo Heli Ocaña, president of the Derrama Magisterial, highlights the technical quality of our artist, which, "with a complex language of totemic constructions, tinges intermittently veiled and floating geometric forms or spaces divided by agile and vehement beings or in a gestation state."
The chance to appreciate the work of Julio Hoyos runs from April 16th to May 16th. Tours are conducted Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm and 2-5 pm in the hall Vinatea Reinoso, 2nd floor, Patio de Derecho of the Cultural Center of San Marcos. See you there.

Hope you are able to enjoy his works online!

Commencement of Peruvian Artists Pages
Dear Readers,
New Beginnings! "Curator - An Independent Agency" has been temporarily changed to "Curatorial Independence - Transparency and Scholarship." The title will be changing for the next couple of months as I try to come up with a solid introductory blog and resource enhancing contemporary Peruvian art/artists.
My intentions are to not only promote visibility in the United States, but also to encourage art historical scholarship. There is very little scholarship on modern or contemporary Peruvian art because it is viewed as part of an overall art historical diaspora known as "Latin American art." Latin American art is beginning to separate into niches according to its/their appropriate diaspora or country. Only recently, Cuban art and Argentinian art have legitimized their diaspora partially due to political and social turmoil. Each country in Latin America has an art story to tell. I hope I can be one art historian, of Peruvian ancestry, to deliver scholarship on modern and contemporary Peruvian art.
In terms of teaching, I would love to lecture seminar and survey courses on this topic. I know I have a great deal to learn about the history of Peru and the historiography of Peru, which I am researching and reading on my free time. Two impactful moments in Peru's social and political history that are critical to artistic production in Peru were the presence of terrorism by Sendero Luminoso (1980- present) and MRTA (1982-1997), and the administration of Alberto Fujimori, "Fujimorismo," and the Fujimori corruption (1990-2000).
Peru has grown to be an independent, stable, and prolific country. It's greatest revelation began with the discovery and transparency of Machu Picchu by Hiram Bingham in 1911. Archaeological and astrological importance phased into existence during the late 1960s. The colonial period (17th - 18th-centuries) may have been the beginning of Peru's art scene, which later flourishes in 19th-century romanticism and the Indigenismo movement in the 20th-century.
History is exciting, folks! Until next time...
