Franklin Collao
1982年出生於墨西哥提華納，現居於意大利科莫湖和墨西哥城之間。
以充滿活力的油畫和色彩運用著稱，並掌握獨特的sfumatura技巧，將油彩反覆拂抹至如空氣般輕柔，創造出數位般的畫面效果。其作品常探討邊界與流動性，特別是自2009年創作的具有象徵意義的墨西哥–美國邊界牆壁壁畫Penétrame。Collao於2021年在國際畫作三年展上提出的可穿戴畫作概念，挑戰傳統繪畫的靜態特性，觀眾能夠隨著作品移動；軟邊緣畫作則摒棄畫作邊界，將光線與色彩無限延展於畫布之上。
其最新Flux Forma系列模糊真實與幻象的界線，呈現一種動態未來的酷兒視角。Collao作品在全球多家著名機構展出，包括墨西哥美術宮博物館和聖地亞哥當代藝術博物館，並在Cardi畫廊舉行過個展，作品曾收錄於藝術書籍及媒體，如Artsy.com與Domus Magazine。
Born in 1982 in Tijuana, Mexico. He is a contemporary artist living and working between Lago di Como, Italy, and Mexico City. Known for his vibrant oil paintings and mastery of color, Collao employs a unique sfumatura technique, softening the paint until it mimics a digital-like surface. His explore themes of borders and fluidity, especially after his iconic 2009 mural Penétrame on the Mexico–United States border wall, which remains a powerful symbol. Collao’s Wearable Paintings concept, presented at the 2021 International Pictorial Triennial, challenged the static nature of traditional painting by allowing the artwork to move with the viewer. His Soft Edge Paintings eliminate the boundaries of his compositions, expanding light and color across the canvas.
Collao’s latest works in Flux Forma blur the lines between truth and illusion, offering a queer vision of a dynamic future. His works have been exhibited globally in institutions like the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes and the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art, with solo shows at Cardi Gallery and a feature in art books and publications such as Artsy.com and Domus Magazine.
