Saul Sanchez works in different media including video, installation and painting. His work focuses on experiences of delay, process, and indeterminacy. He has explored ideas about waiting, painting, and history. Present time is core in these explorations. He is interested in extending the temporal elements of the waiting time where the expected does not arrive on time, and/or a process is stuck in a specific time. The delay shows not only the unexpressed but also the invisible. In this operation placeholders fill the anxiety of future; therefore the continuity of the ‘process of becoming’ is not interrupted.
Saul Sanchez (b. 1977, Bogota, Colombia) has had solo exhibitions at Praxis, New York; Nueveochenta Arte Contemporaneo Gallery, Bogota; Espacio ANEXO, Espacio Mínimo Gallery, Madrid; and Arróniz Arte Contemporaneo, Mexico City; as well as numerous group exhibitions at venues including Action Field Kodra, Municipality of Kalamaria, Thessaloniki; Aurora 2015, DMA Dallas Museum of Art; Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango, Bogota; Alliance Française, Bogota; Provincial Arts Center, Havana; Santral, Istanbul; and Diego Rivera House Museum, Guanajuato. His work is in the permanent collections of PAMM, Pérez Art Museum Miami, Miami; Sayago & Pardon Collection, San Diego; and Museo de Arte del Banco de la República, Colombia.
