The work of Amadeo Azar (Mar del Plata, 1972) explores the constitutive elements of identity in a complex and hybrid culture such as the Argentinean one. In this search he has directed a revisionist look on modernist utopias, particularly the way in which these ideals and their visual manifestations were embodied in Argentina and Latin America, as well as focusing on landscape as the situated condition in which a culture develops.  For many of these works Azar has used the medium of watercolor, a difficult technique that he handles with ductility and that is perfectly in tune with his subject matter: watercolor itself possesses the lightness and transparency of water, of what flows and is unstable.  Azar also works with installations, ceramic and iron sculpture, video, photography and sound.  He is a member of an experimental electronic music band, TBF.

Azar has an extensive history of exhibitions, including at the National Endowment for the Arts, Recoleta Cultural Center, Museo Mar; Museum of Contemporary Art in Salta, in Argentina; the Drawing Center and Queens Museum, New York.  In the last ten years he has had solo shows and has participated in group exhibitions in galleries and museums in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, England, Belgium, Hungary, Spain, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador and the United States. His work is in the collections of Phoenix Art Museum; Cleveland Clinic, Cincinnati; Jorge Pérez Collection, Miami; Deutsche Bank Collection, New York; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires; Klemm Foundation and Supervielle Bank Foundation, among others.
