Sebastian Picker
Sebastian Picker, a native of Santiago, Chile who fled his homeland
during the reign of dictator Pinochet, uses his art to explore
a range of socio-political issues. His works on canvas and paper
often parody power, pomposity, and the folly of corrupt leadership
in government, church, and business. Picker has been strongly
influenced by Pinochet's political reign of terror, as well as
time that the artist spent in Rome studying cartooning under Paulo
DiGirolamo. Now living in Guadalajara, Mexico, Picker has exhibited
his work in galleries and museums throughout Europe and the Americas,
including the Galeria de Arte Nacional and Museo Carlos Cruz Diez
in Caracas, Venezuela; Optica Gallery in Montreal, Canada; Galeria
Skandia in Bogota, Columbia; Galeria 1-2-3, in Escultura, San
Salvador; Kunstamt Kreutzberg in Berlin, Germany; Galeria D'Art
Mestral in L'Escala, Spain; and Centre Culturel de Villeparisis
in Paris, France. In the United States, his work has been exhibited
at the Turner Carroll Gallery in Sante Fe, New Mexico; Arden Gallery
in Boston; The Artist's Museum in Washington, D.C.; Federal Reserve
Bank in Boston; Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland,
Ohio; and Brewster Arts Ltd. in New York, among many others. His
work is in the collections of the Albuquerque Museum, in Albuquerque,
New Mexico; El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe in Sante Fe, New Mexico;
the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, California; and
the Fundacio Vila Casas in Barcelona, Spain.
