Pablo Gómez Uribe is a Colombian-born artist and architect. Since 2008, he has maintained a dual residence between Medellín (Colombia) and New York City (USA), allowing him to reflect on the nature of construction and destruction within the architecture of these two contrasting cities. Trained in architecture, Gómez Uribe has developed an artistic practice that constructs a counter-narrative to modernism, camouflaged within rationalist seriality and elegant abstract forms.
Emerging from a long process distilled from the concept of "anarchitecture" coined by Gordon Matta-Clark, Gómez Uribe engages in a kind of speculative archaeology. He draws on urbanism and incorporates elements from the analytical methodology of paper architecture—a movement that gained prominence in the 1970s—to establish a dialogical line with divergent positions within constructivist modernism in contemporary art production.
Gómez Uribe was part of the group of artists represented by the late and renowned Colombian gallerist Alberto Sierra, who presented his work in solo exhibitions in Medellín at Galería De La Oficina and Sala de Arte Suramericana. In New York, Gómez Uribe’s work has been featured in group exhibitions at Artists Space, Judson Memorial Church, Susan Inglett Gallery, the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at The New School, and The Kitchen, among others. In 2014, his work was highlighted at the Cartagena de Indias Biennial. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
