The inspiration of Ishmael Randall
The journey of Ishmael Randall-Weeks to create this work, which in Spanish means “Travel in the desert“, begins in the middle of the peruvian deserta place full of life, whispers of history and the loneliness of the landscapes carved by the wind.
In it Valle de Samaca, Icain the south of Perulas parabolic shapes sculpted by nature, become an inspiration for the artist. That is why the works in this exhibition reflect the unity of forms both in the natural world and in that built by the hand of man.

The Peruvian contemporary art work “Desert Displacements”
Within this exhibition, the geometric shapes are intertwined with elements rich in history and metaphorical meaning. From the architectural legacies of the Bauhaus until the artistic symbols of the pre-columbian cultures. The different pieces reflect visions of the past and futurehighlighting the shared essence of human experience through time and space.
This search for material and spiritual form, as a testimony to the passage of time, delves into the essence of guidance and displacement. They arise symbolic connections between migratory routes, ancient cultures and the contemporary world where the work finds its stage.
The works of Peruvian contemporary art selected, are a contemplation on how physical structures shape the movement, communication and emotion. That is why this exhibition is an invitation to reflect on the impact of form and its functionality on our daily existence.
