Combining references from his Colombian-American and Southern roots with upcycled materials, Basqo Bim offers a chance to explore the dimensions of self using variously opulent and grotesque forms as a vehicle. Influenced by personal roots in Catholicism, lowbrow genres, and depictions of body horror, Bim’s work weaves these influences into recognizable cultural forms. These forms, such as religious and folk objects, are intentionally distorted and exaggerated to heighten their emotional and symbolic impact.
Gnostic Gnosis No-No's & The Known Woes presents a group of recurring figures used to examine belief, forbidden knowledge, and the consequences of knowing. Drawing from Gnostic thought, Catholic material culture, and heretical traditions, these characters operate as corporeal states rather than narratives. Knowledge is treated as something physical and cumulative, carried, distorted, and exaggerated through the body. Here, this is conveyed through disembodied, oversized stuffed noses. The Nose Knows.
