Víctor Lema Riqué
Work detail
In this exhibition of drawings, paintings and panels, the visual artist Victor Lema Riqué alters in fictional form a historical event that took place during the siege of Montevideo in the Great War (1839 to 1851): the expulsion of Admiral Brown and his fleet from the Bay of Montevideo by General Giuseppe Garibaldi. The artist from 2012 began a thorough investigation on the subject that continues to the present. In parallel with this investigation, the series of works that make up this exhibition were produced. One of the artist's objectives, among others, is to discuss the identity and origin of Uruguayans. The exhibition has an anachronistic and timeless character that modifies the facts by incorporating other elements of Urugua's most recent history.
