Maharam Serpentine Galleries Wallpaper by Beatriz Gonzalez

About the Item

Maharam Serpentine Galleries Wallpaper Wiwa Stories by Beatriz Gonzalez in Soft Blue 001 Beatriz González is a Bogotá-based leading figure of Latin American Pop art. Exploring sociopolitical subject matter specific to Colombia’s history and vernacular culture, González often uses images of current events culled from the media and then inserts a dialogue between popular narratives and formal painting. Wiwa Stories depicts the plight of eleven members of the Wiwa ethnic group, an indigenous community living in Colombia’s remote Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range, who were struck and killed by lightning while performing a traditional universe-balancing ceremony in 2014. The Maharam Serpentine Galleries Wallpaper collection is created by esteemed artists and architects under the curatorial direction of Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries in London. Building upon Maharam’s longstanding practice of interdisciplinary collaboration, curatorial strength, and expertise in digital printing, the wallpapers reflect a range of subject matter and styles while utilizing advanced digital printing techniques for complex, high-resolution imagery in a full-color spectrum. Reflecting a traditional framework of modestly sized repeats and a conventional 27” width, the Maharam serpentine galleries wallpapers are intended for commercial and residential use. Durable and easy to maintain, the collection is printed with UV-resistant inks on a washable, latex-reinforced substrate. - 83% Cellulose, 17% Polyester - Roll size: 118" V x 27" H (300cm V x 69cm H) - Wall coverage (standard): 22 sq ft (2 sq m) - Clean with mild soap, lukewarm water and a natural sponge.
