Javier Peláez

(b. 1976, CDMX, Mexico) Javier Peláez was educated in architecture and painting in his native Mexico City. After his studies, he concentrated in painting, spending more than 15 years in developing and perfecting his unique technique, challenging the limits of representation and the images that conform the reality we live in. Peláez uses painting to reimagine a new reality. He explores the possibilities of configuration and transit that move the world we live in. His familiarity and rigorous observation allows him to reconstruct the imagery of our reality. The artist has achieved recognition worldwide, participating in numerous individual and collective exhibitions internationally. Some of these accomplishments include: “Al borde de un pliegue” exhibition, 2021, Museo de Arte de Sinaloa, “Broken Tree” at William Turner Gallery, 2019, Los Angeles, USA and “Death Nature” at the Laundromat Gallery, 2011, New York, USA. Peláez was also co-director of the independent platform “DIAGRAMA” (CDMX) from 2012-2015.
