Descripción de la Exposición
Federico Luger (FL GALLERY) is pleased to announce the second solo exhibition of the internationally known Mexican artist Edgar Orlaineta, who will present a new series of wooden sculptures and a group of works on paper.
From the very beginning, the artworks of Edgar, inspired by the works of some well-known design icons of the twentieth century (Ray Eames, Alexey Brodovitch, Beau Dick, Wharton Esherick, Gio Ponti, Thayaht, George Nelson, Irving Harper and Marcel Duchamp) that the artist transforms and reinterprets in his own way, giving them a new meaning, have been intriguing and surprising the audience.Like the character of the story of Carlo Collodi, the Mexican artist becomes a sort of a creator who, turned by the desire to give life to his wooden child, using his skills of a craftsman, creates the work of arts from the wooden crafted figures. The story of Pinocchio represents for Edgar a point of departure of the relations established between craftsmanship, design and art. It explains how in a completely natural way, through a craftsmanship we can create even a new life (art).
