Caliban Ramirez, born in Santiago, Chile, and now living in Belgium, creates work that blends drawing, printmaking and painting, drawing on more than twenty-five years of artistic exploration.
\nTrained at RHOK (Etterbeek) and the Acad\u00e9mie de Boitsfort, and under painters such as Maio Wassenberg, Roger Somville and Paul Gobert, he has developed a visual language that weaves together the mythologies of the South and the realities of the North.
\nHis images emerge from layers, like memories settling slowly.
\nToday, he draws with coffee grounds on musical scores, revealing a free, almost sonic style.
\nThe gesture becomes rhythm, the mark becomes language.
\nOn paper he makes himself, he improvises linocuts populated by dreamlike figures, ranging from animals to spirits and ancient presences.
\nThe material retains the memory; the image awakens it.
\nHis work is a slow apparition: a world where gesture, trace and memory respond to one another. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
