Luis Roldán is a polymath Colombian artist who works across painting, installation, drawing, and sculpture. Trained as an architect and art historian, he is self-taught as an artist, appreciating the freedom that art gives him to explore questions of space, abstraction, and physicality in the context of modern urbanism and material culture. Roldán mixes his own pigments for his paintings and sculptures, pointing to a practice centered on experimentation and craftsmanship. His various bodies of work tend to look very different from each other, as he uses materials to mine their social, domestic, and political contexts, highlighting the artisanal qualities of his processes and ideas. Roldán lives and works between Bogotá and New York City, and his works are held in major private and institutional collections across Latin America and the United States.
