Radamés « Juni » Figueroa

Radamés “Juni” Figueroa builds systems that evoke and celebrate life and life pondered; life lived and made corporeal through the recurrent markers in his oeuvre – climate, flora, fauna, clothing, canteens. That which marks and permeates all of his works is the idea of things tropical, of life lived in the tropics. Figueroa has created spaces in different parts of the world that promote the ready interaction between the artistic practice and its coexistence with spectators. His work has been presented in institutions and art fairs, including exhibitions at the Whitney Biennial, the High Line and the Sculpture Center in New York. In 2020 he was awarded the Illy Present Future Prize.
