Iván Navarro (born 1972 in
Early life and education
Navarro was born and raised in Santiago, Chile.
His father was a left-leaning dean of a university.[5]
Navarro initially intended to study theatrical set design at Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, but was not accepted by that department, so he studied art instead.[3]: 69 He continued to participate informally in design and lighting for theater,[3]: 69 and was awarded a BFA degree in 1995.[3]: 72
Artwork
An example of Navarro's work being steeped in his homeland's history while also speaking to current political debates, is his You Sit, You Die, which consists of a lounge chair built from white
Navarro also works with light and infinity mirrors, in which viewers lose themselves in an apparently infinite space, as neon phrases or structures loom out, and suggest what lies beyond. These abyss-like works can link back to Navarro's fear of being abducted as a child.[5] As he navigates his past, the artist readily admits, "There is a certain amount of fear in my pieces".[5][6] In ‘Criminal Ladder’ (2005), Navarro created a 30-feet-high ladder made with fluorescent light tubes. On the tubes he has written the names of people who committed human rights abuses during the Pinochet time in power.[7][8]
He is represented by Galerie Daniel Templon.[9]
