Bedoya, Juan Enrique
Juan Enrique Bedoya was born in Lima, Peru, in 1966.
He has exhibited his work in solo and group shows since 1990, and his pieces are included in public and private collections across Europe and the Americas.
In 1998, he was one of the winners of the First National Biennial of Lima, and in 2003, he received the Jury Prize at the Fourth International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Florence, Italy.
He has been awarded scholarships in both the United States and France.
In 2018, he presented his solo exhibition Museo at the Lima Art Museum (MALI), accompanied by a catalog of the same name.
In 2012, British art critic Kevin Power published a monograph on his work entitled A lo largo de la costa peruana (Along the Peruvian Coast).
Bedoya’s oeuvre explores the relationship between classic documentary photography and the boundaries between the so-called high and low cultures. His work is striking for its freedom and the interdisciplinary approach taken.
He lives and works in Peru.
