Galería Duque Arango will present ‘Sueños Lúcidos,’ a solo exhibition by Javier Caraballo, from September 17 through October 31 in Medellín, Colombia. The exhibition will be held at the gallery’s location on Carrera 37 #10a-34, according to the gallery’s exhibition listing.

The project is described as an investigation into imagination as the origin of all creation. Its point of departure is childhood, a stage in which reality and dreams are understood not as separate territories but as a single space of seemingly infinite possibilities. The exhibition announcement frames Caraballo’s series around the persistence of that imaginative state into adult life.

The gallery further describes the works as invitations to reconnect with an interior place where dreams, the capacity for wonder and the desire to create remain present. No additional curatorial statement, catalogue essay or biographical information about Caraballo is included in the available exhibition materials.

The online listing identifies several works in the presentation, including ‘El umbral’ (2026), an oil painting on canvas measuring 200 by 350 centimetres; ‘Los hermanos curadores de arte’ (2026), also in oil on canvas, measuring 100 by 140 centimetres; and ‘Epifanía’ (2026), measuring 150 by 200 centimetres. The listed works are dated 2026, placing them within the period of the exhibition’s announcement and presentation.

Another work, ‘La distancia al cielo’ (2026), is listed as an oil painting on canvas measuring 150 by 130 centimetres. The gallery’s page presents these works as part of the broader ‘Sueños Lúcidos’ series, but does not provide a complete checklist or specify the total number of works included in the exhibition.

Founded in Medellín in 1980, Galería Duque Arango says it has maintained an uninterrupted programme for more than four decades. Its stated focus combines major figures in Latin American art with contemporary practices, and the gallery describes its activities as encompassing individual and group exhibitions, projects in Colombia and abroad, international art fairs, and relationships with private collectors and institutions. ‘Sueños Lúcidos’ will remain on view at Galería Duque Arango from September 17 to October 31, 2026.
