La obra del artista Rember Yahuarcani es un recorrido visual por los mitos e historias de los seres que pueblan el universo físico y espiritual de la Amazonia. Los mitos son los ríos donde navega la memoria de los ancestros y es allí donde Rember ha buscado las palabras e imágenes que han guiado su obra creativa. Su aprendizaje se inició al lado de su padre Santiago Yahuarcani, al mismo tiempo que escuchaba las historias narradas por su abuela Martha López. Desde el 2003 comenzó a exhibir sus obras en galerías, pero todavía encasilladas en el concepto de “arte indígena”. Desde el 2007, Yahuarcani ha buscado “forzar espacios” para presentar sus obras ya no con la etiqueta de “pintura indígena”, sino como piezas de arte contemporáneo, enraizadas ciertamente en la historia y tradición indígena, pero con una evolución, estilo e identidad propias.
The work of the artist Rember Yahuarcani is a visual itinerary through the myths and stories of the beings that populate the physical and spiritual world of Amazonia. The myths are the rivers where the memory of the ancestors navigates and it is there, where Rember has sought the words and images that have guided his creative work. He learned by the side of his father, Santiago Yahuarcani, while at the same time he heard the stories narrated by his grandmother Martha López. Since 2003, he began to exhibit his pictorial work in galleries, but still stereotyped as “indigenous art”. Since 2007, Yahuarcani has strived to “open up spaces” to present his work, no longer with the label “indigenous painting”, but as pieces of contemporary art, truly rooted in indigenous history and tradition, but with an evolution, style and identity of their own.
