BIOGRAPHY

Humberto Poblete-Bustamante is an established, mid-career contemporary artist. The 1980s inspired him, an era of developing global capitalism, political disruption, worldwide mass media, social classes and unique music and fashion, characterised by hip hop and electronic pop music. These aspects had a heavy impact on the generation of artists growing up during this time. The fall of the Berlin Wall signified the end of the Cold War, yet the African Famine also marked the era. During this time, leading art movements included Neo Geo, The Pictures Generation and Neo-Expressionism.
