Germán Londoño

Germán Londoño in 2014. Pintor Escultor y dibujante (Sculptor, painter and draughtsman) Germán Londoño (born October 12, 1961, in Medellín, Colombia), is a Colombian painter, draftsman and sculptor. He studied in the Libe de Zulátegui Arts Academy in Medellín, Colombia and as a Master in Lithography at the Scuola Internazionale d' Arte IL Bisonte, Florence, Italy.

Reception ArtNexus magazine says that Londoño uses "strategies such as humor and caricature" in his paintings to relay a narrative that "reveal the presence of a different sort of metaphysics: the farce of everyday life. In a short period of time, and from his first exhibition, Londoño has gone beyond all the premises of the transvanguardia, openly establishing his own style and shunning pre-determined formulas, to create his own universe."

Hank Burchard from the Washington Post says the subjects he paints appear to be "save-the-whales familiar" and are "colorful and compositionally cunning". Titles such as Tribute to Antarctica and Woman Writing in an Island may or may not be politically correct, but they certainly are colorful and compositionally cunning.
