Nelson Gutierrez is an artist from Bogota, Colombia, who now lives and works in Memphis, TN, USA. Since the early 1990s, Gutierrez has focused on creating two and three-dimensional artworks, conceptual objects, and installations based on current socio-political issues. He uses a variety of different mediums - charcoal, ink, wood, blood, wax, glass, light - to tell stories that are universally understood, but experienced more intensely by a select few.
