Sergio Verastegui's Sculptural Writing at Cortex Athletico Gallery

Sergio Verastegui, a Peruvian artist born in 1981, presented his work at the Cortex Athletico gallery in Bordeaux from November 13 to December 20, 2014. His practice involves a sculptural and fragmentary approach to writing, incorporating drawings made with gold droplets alongside various assemblages, overlays, and accumulations. The exhibition was documented in the February 2015 issue of artpress magazine, specifically in issue number 419 on page 18. Verastegui's methodology combines delicate materials with structural compositions, creating works that explore materiality through meticulous processes. The show highlighted his emerging position within contemporary art circles, focusing on the physical properties of his chosen mediums. Gold droplets serve as a primary medium for mark-making in his drawings, establishing a dialogue between precious materials and artistic gesture. His accumulative techniques build complex surfaces that challenge traditional boundaries between two and three-dimensional forms. The exhibition period spanned over five weeks, providing an extended viewing opportunity for audiences in Bordeaux.
