Xavier Robles de Medina

Xavier Robles de Medina comes from an artistic family in Suriname. He works with archival images, painstakingly translating them into mesmerising paintings. In this exhibition his works address his own history and impulse for making, as well as the fate of a village swamped by a hydroelectric dam project.
