Cambre

Juan José Cambre (b. Ramos Mejía, Argentina 1948) is considered now one of most influential living artists in Argentina through a career spanning more than three decades. Architect by formation, he begins his career as an artist in the seventies. In the nineties he painted pots with the aim of concentrating on the study of plastic elements, such as perspective or the relationship between figure and background. The vases were followed by several series of printed photographs and paintings. "Each new phase of the artist's career takes place when he discovers and incorporates a new method of work, which in the case of Cambre can be the pots, points, reflections or shadows."
