Felipe Bedoya is an artist from Bogotá, Colombia. He employs a personal visual language akin to drawing, in which photography is deconstructed as a medium by isolating and selecting fragments to build new narratives.
Often, he uses a grid, like graph paper, to organise images of people and objects. He starts from photographs and then redraws and rearranges them, placing each person within a separate square. In this way, he shows how individuals can share the same space while remaining distinct and isolated. Through this technique, he reflects on his idea of home as “an island constructed from fragments that hold memory, shelter solitude, and where the artist’s origin always resides as an aesthetic reference.”
The images from the series 1 × Uno function as figurative diagrams in which the grid provides the basic order of an entire universe and where diverse themes are explored through repetition, patterns, isolation, division, and grouping of elements.
