Gaspar Iwaniura Lorge
1985, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Artist and designer. He uses photographs and scans as raw material to produce his works.
He studies Computer Engineering and Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Aires. His photography training includes workshops and clinics with various local artists such as Alberto Goldenstein, Guillermo Ueno, Lorena Fernández, and Francisco Medail, among others. In 2021, he was a scholarship recipient of the PAC FOTX artist program at Galería Gachi Prieto.
In 2020, he founded KOLOR (www.kolor.ar), a laboratory dedicated to the analog reproduction of photographs. KOLOR preserves the last available analog minilab in Argentina. In 2022, the project was awarded funding from the Mecenazgo program of the Ministry of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires to produce photographs from Argentine archives, including the Archivo de la Memoria Trans (https://archivotrans.ar/), the Foto Estudio Luisita archive (https://hachegaleria.com/artista/foto-estudio-luisita/), and the PH15 Foundation archive (http://www.ph15.org.ar/).
His current research bridges photography and abstract painting, drawing connections to the works of Moholy-Nagy, Josef Albers, and Hiroshi Sugimoto. Part of this research can be seen in the exhibition “In the beginning was the magic” inaugurated in June of this year 2024 (https://www.cck.gob.ar/events/en-el-principio-fue-la-magia/) and also in the exhibition of the VIII Premio Fotografía ArtexArte in Buenos Aires (https://artexarte.com.ar/premio-artexarte-2024).
