Juan Carlos Coppel’s images and sculptures could be linked to the tradition of geographical landscape photography, or the cabinets of naturalist explorers of the seventeenth century, they are actually records of observations and daily work on the transformation of the land.
Juan Carlos Coppel
Mexico
His gaze is not only aimed to discover the sublime in the monumentality of the landscape but to warn a critical stance on industrial agronomists processes, which at the same time reveal textures, reticles, and tissues that alter our perception of the natural environment.
His work has been exhibited in Celaya Brothers Gallery (MX), the National Center for the Arts CENART (MX), Sonora Museum of Art MUSAS (MX), the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (USA), among others. He was awarded the Fotoseptiembre Acquisition Prize, the Acquisition Price of the XV Northwest Biennial of Visual Arts.
