Sergio Villamizar

Biography:
Colombian-American photographer and printmaker, Sergio Villamizar is a Postmodern Neo-Conceptual “expressionist” artist; his deeply emotive imagery sardonically and ironically examines current events, literature, and philosophy. Born in 1965 in Bogotá, Colombia, South America, he currently resides in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. By and large, his abstract collages, woodcuts, and magnetic-photomontages are created as “ongoing” series that present astonishing, multi-faceted, and hyper-psychological icons infused with symbolic-narrative(s). Via integrated-juxtapositions of sundry thematic elements, or through significant image alterations, each series reflects Villamizar’s intense-imagination, which innately utilizes symbols to evoke visual stories. Some of his work is interactive, allowing the viewer the opportunity to make changes to the work; however, these deep, profound, and awe-inspiring images persistently maintain their inherent iconology. His exhibitions include MANA Contemporary (JerseyCity, NJ); The Wilmer Jennings gallery (NYC); PCCC Broadway/LRC Gallery (Paterson, NJ); Guerilla galleries (Newark, NJ); Watchung Arts Center (Watchung, NJ); Soho Photo gallery (NYC); The Ward Nasse gallery (NYC); Perth Amboy gallery Center; NJPAC and others.
