Urluberlu

By  Alexis Rago 2011

the artist

Both science and religion in their popularisation give rise to techniques that idealise concepts in visual form to convey messages that are coded in aesthetics and symbolism. As a reification of biological ideas, Urluberlu rises from where evolutionary theory and sacred art intersect as a catalyst in the dialectic between faith and belief.
