This book was published on the occasion of Oswaldo Vigas: Return, Always Return, the first solo exhibition of the Venezuelan artist in Asia and the first with Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery. The exhibition featured twenty iconic works spanning over sixty years along with a curated collection of important archival materials, offering a well-researched overview of Vigas's pioneering practice that helps define Latin American modernism in its own terms.
This publication celebrates Vigas's outstanding achievements and examines his influence in both the South American and post-war Parisian art scenes. Emphasizing ''return'' as the artist's guiding artistic vision to tie his progressive and boldly diverse oeuvre together, it delves into the four major periods of Vigas' s career, retracing his path from a young promising artist, who was the first Venezuelan to draw on pre-Columbian cultural heritage, to becoming an influential figure with a full control of his own unique language that moved freely between figuration and abstraction.
