Gerardo Pulido (b. 1975) lives and works in Santiago, Chile. He is a painter and sculptor with more than twenty-five years of experience. He has exhibited his work in Australia, the United States, France, England, and different Latin American cities. He has held residencies in Argentina (RIAA, 2008), the United States (Wassaic Project, 2025), and Puerto Rico (P. de Artistas Visitantes MCEH, 2022-21). He sporadically publishes texts on art, with two books of essays. On the other hand, he was co-creator and member of Taller BLOC, an artist-run space in Santiago (2009-2022, Chile).
The Set series consists of a series of small format works started in 2022. The series is open, and Pulido continues to paint new samples such as watercolor, gauoche, fine-liner pen and graphite. Each image is made on paper, which always has the same dimensions and is oriented in the same way (horizontally). The series presents a repertoire of elements, even rules, although mobile. The game, as in a set of some sport, is the general method of painting: by proposing to play with geometry and the overflow of the stain, with line and color, with the plane and the “illusion” and, by the way, with improvisation and a certain systematization.
