Jaime Avila Ferrer Bomba Blanca 4. Capitolio de Washington DC - Capitolio De la Habana Measure: 20.5" x 5" x 5" Wall ceramic sculpture with gold and copper intervention 2006.
This artwork is a striking sculptural piece resembling an abstract architectural column. Fashioned from sleek white material, it showcases elongated cylindrical forms capped with ornate domes. The flawless finish radiates purity and elegance. Two metallic bands circle the structure, adding a touch of modernity and contrast against the pristine white. The sculptural design exemplifies a harmonious fusion of classic and contemporary styles, reflecting craftsmanship and innovative vision. The symmetrical structure draws the eye upward, highlighting balance and precision. Its imposing presence and unique aesthetic make it a conversation piece, evoking curiosity and admiration. This artwork commands attention with its sophisticated simplicity and bold, unyielding form.
Jaime Avila Ferrer was a world-renowned artist whose work combines painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography. He uses mixed media in some pieces such as Dust, in which dots of white paint are applied to a darkened Plexiglas surface to form pictures of urban landscapes from the granulations. Outline for Dust is an artwork in which he connects the cityscape of Bogota with the JFK airport in New York. He uses traditional approaches to examine social, political, and environmental topics. Avila studied civil engineering at the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogota (1983–1987) and received his degree in Fine arts from the same university (1988–1991). He has presented solo shows such as Talento Pirata, Jaime Ávila (Pirate talent, Jaime Ávila), at the Nueveochenta Gallery in Bogota (2013). His first shows in the United States were Life is a Catwalk at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University and 4th World – Five Cubic Meters at the Boston Arts Academy (2005). Ávila represented Colombia at the XXVI Sao Paolo Biennial in Brazil (2004), the III Liverpool Biennial in the United Kingdom (2004), the II Mercosul Biennial in Brazil, (2000) and the FIAC in Paris, France (1999). He has participated in exhibitions such as ¡No más chicha!, at Alcuadrado Variable in Bogota (2009), the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, and the Casa de las Américas in Madrid, Spain (2004), Changing the Focus: Latin American Photography (1990–2005), at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, United States (2010), Resurfaced: Contemporary Colombian Art, at the Magnan Metz Gallery in New York, United States (2011), and Bogotá.
