Mateo López will introduce his exhibition at Gaworks, discussing the development of his practice during the residency at Gasworks.

Mateo López creates studio-like situations in which the production and display of the work overlap. His source material includes drawings, notes and photographs which are often taken in his journeys. In many of his installations, López combines real objects with drawings, expanding the latter into three-dimensional forms to unfold narratives constructed by fragments and associations.

Mateo López was born in Bogotá, Colombia where he lives and works. His residency will lead to a two venue exhibition at Gasworks and Camberwell Space, opening in June.
