Lives and works in Mexico City

Works by Luis Fernando Guevara Garcia deal with the melancholy and nostalgia of childhood. As the critic Antonio Marquet points out, there is a `prevailing tension caused by contrasting elements in Guevara’s works: children and violence, toys and fragmented bodies, passivity in the face of aggression.’

His works such as El Niño Que Arranccó Sonrisas (The Boy Who Stole Smiles) and Los Niños No Lloran (Boys do not cry) represent moments of `mini-dramas’ in which happiness and frustration coexist. This aspect of two opposite factors also plays a significant role in other works by Guevara like Ni Tanto Que Queme Al Santo, 2006, a child-like depiction of the Spanish proverb "Ni tanto que queme al santo, ni tan poco que no lo alumbre" (Put the candle not so close that it would burn the saint, nor so far that it will fail to light him).

Guevara has exhibited at numerous art institutions in Mexico including the Centro Cultural San Angel, Museo Rufino Tamayo, and Museo Alhóndiga de Granaditas. His work was selected for the XI Bienal de Pintura Rufino Tamayo in 2002.
