Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino is pleased to present a new Online Viewing Room featuring Miguel Ángel Rojas (b. 1946, Colombia). A leading conceptual artist, Rojas explores subjective experience, identity, and politics, employing materials of symbolic significance and references to pop culture to give layers of meaning to his work.
A pioneer in the use of photography as an artistic medium since 1970, Rojas examines the human condition and the experience of marginality, especially as it relates to gender and sexuality. Since the 1990s, his projects have often critiqued the social and political consequences of international drug trafficking and its ensuing violence. Rojas uses a sophisticated visual language, employing text, symbolic materials, and references to Pop Art and pop imagery to examine the present-day social issues caused by decades of armed conflict, political upheaval, population displacement, and environmental exploitation in Colombia.
Today Rojas lives and works in Bogotá, Colombia. His work is...in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, NY; Tate Modern, London, UK; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), Houston, TX; The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, Miami, FL; Museo de Arte Moderno, Bogotá, Colombia; Museo Nacional, Bogotá, Colombia; and Museo de Bellas Artes, Caracas, Venezuela, among many others.
