BIO
Ulises Beisso (Montevideo, 1958–1996), during a brief yet prolific career, produced more than three hundred works through which he sought to subvert the established order from within figuration. The significance of his legacy lies in having anticipated, in terms of identity, the debates around dissidence and diversity within the Río de la Plata’s cultural context of the 1980s and early 1990s. Following the successful presentation of his retrospective at MALBA (Buenos Aires) and ahead of his upcoming solo exhibition in New York, W—Galería presents a selection of his most significant works, underscoring the strength and contemporary relevance of his artistic vision.
VISION CURATORIAL
For ESTE ARTE 2026, Walden Naturae presents a selection of works by Ulises Beisso, an artist whose practice —spanning painting, sculpture, assemblages, and installations— emerges from the impulse to transform materials and give form to his inner worlds. With bright colors, curved shapes, and a theatrical energy, his work merges thought, emotion, and the unconscious, becoming a mirror of his own subjectivity.
The series Images of the (my) Hidden marks a pivotal moment in his life: through a palette of blacks, greys, and muted whites, Beisso delves into the spiritual dimension of color and the introspective force that runs through his entire body of work.
