Juan Carlos Delgado

Juan Carlos Delgado is a colombian artist who creates art in multiple mediums and also uses multiple different materials in each of his individual works. For me the sculptures are his most striking works, in particular the piece titled Caballo, sin titulo. This translates directly to Horse, Without Title or Horse Untitled. It is a stunning sculpture of a horse with its front right leg up. More importantly the horse's head lacks detail there is no nose, eyes, or mouth. Given the title of the piece one can assume this was done on purpose without a face the horse lacks an identity. In addition to this the horse is glowing white and looks very similar to ice. With the raised leg, lack of facial detail, and "ice like" construction of the sculpture; It appears to me that the artist wanted to convey a sense of calm, cool, and independent with this piece. Multimedia is defined as using more than one medium of expression or communication.Given this definition Delgado's work can be classified as multimedia because he creates art using several different mediums. For example the sculpture of the horse conveys its message through the use sculpture and light. Delgado also uses photographs and paintings to convey his message. Given these details and defention of multimedia Delgado can infact be defined as a multimedia artist.
