Daniel Correa Mejía's Personal Mythology at P·P·O·W
Colombian artist Daniel Correa Mejía (b. 1986, Medellín) presents his solo exhibition "El amor se mueve como un animal salvaje" at P·P·O·W in New York, running from June 12 to July 17, 2026. The show features paintings on burlap that blend bodies, animals, and landscapes into a personal mythology drawn from his intimate diaries. Correa Mejía, now based in Berlin, uses the rough texture of burlap to expose process and imperfection, with red and ultramarine blue creating visual tension. His work shifts from abstraction to figuration, exploring love, eroticism, and human connection through vulnerable, open imagery. Recurring symbols include snakes, toads, birds, and displaced moons. The exhibition includes works like "Cambio de destino" (2025-26), "Las voces" (2025-26), "El viaje de Pan" (2025-26), "Nosotros" (2025-26), "Ofrendas del misterio" (2025-26), and "Susurros" (2025-26).
