Londaibere, Alfredo

Argentine artist (1955-2017). He trained in the workshops of Araceli Vázquez Málaga and attended various painting and ceramics training workshops and seminars. He also worked as an assistant in Marcia Schvartz's classes and participated as a fellow in the Barracas Workshop of Pablo Suárez and Luis Benedit. In the 1980s, he began exhibiting his early works individually and in group exhibitions in galleries, as well as in bars, nightclubs, and spaces within the underground scene of Buenos Aires. Towards the end of that decade, he was invited to have a solo exhibition at the gallery of the Ricardo Rojas Cultural Center, which was the second exhibition of the space under the direction of Jorge Gumier Maier. This was followed by two more solo and group exhibitions, and he became part of the group later known as Artists of Rojas. He served as the director of the gallery at the Ricardo Rojas Cultural Center from 1997 to 2002. Until 2017, he worked as a teacher and coordinator of the drawing and painting workshops at the center. His artistic production encompassed various techniques and themes, including paintings, works on wood, collages, intervened photographs, temperas, and wooden boxes framed in alpaca. In recent years, he focused on painting, which stood out above other forms of artistic expression. In 2015, he was awarded the first prize in painting by the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic, Andreani Foundation, and UADE Foundation in Buenos Aires. His work was exhibited in various solo and group exhibitions in Argentina, other Latin American countries, the United States, and Europe.
