Artist Replete presents “Congress" from renowned artist Federico Uribe. A creation using thousands of recycled bullets, the final result took the artist over one year to complete. A playful interpretation of a large congressional cat fight. This is considered to be one of the artists most prolific works and has been displayed in museums across the country.
"Nature is the measurement of beauty and for me it's about finding beauty in these objects that are not perceived as beautiful."
Federico Uribe is an Internationally known artist and one of the top selling artists at Art Basel in Miami. His unique style has created a long list of famous collectors, including Domenico Dolce (Dolce & Gabbana).
In 1988, Federico Uribe left Colombia and moved to New York where he would study a master in fine arts degree. Throughout those years he was guided by Luis Camnitzer, who taught him essential skills that Federico would later use for his own personal artworks. After years of studying and practicing, Federico traveled, living in Cuba, Mexico, Russia, England and Miami where he is currently based.
His most recent work includes a series of animal sculptures created with bullets and colored pencils. This representation with bullets was triggered when the artist recognized animals being hunted for fur and 90 percent of the remains thrown away. The series took on more playful direction with the use of color pencils, a medium often used during adolescence.
