Juan Correa
Juan Correa is a visual artist and printmaker born in Bogota, Colombia, and raised in Los Angeles, California. Juan creates pieces that reference memory, mortality, identity, and their influence on self-perception through highly rendered and detailed drawings and prints. His work is a careful construction of visual alterations and reinterpretations of Latinx traditions, experiences, and symbols of his formative years. He attempts to give viewers a snapshot of an interiority constantly striving to find equilibrium. Juan primarily addresses these themes and ideas through stone lithograph prints, monotypes, mixed media, and drawings. Juan completed his undergraduate degree at Skidmore College in 2016, and he is currently in the final semester of The University of Iowa's MFA Printmaking program. Juan's most recent exhibitions include group shows at Monmouth College, Utah State University, and Box13 Art Space in Houston. In the latter, he received first place for Print Matters' Press Forward 2021 Exhibition.
