Patricio Farías

de Adolfo Montejo Navas

Patricio Farías (Chile, lives and works in Brazil) transforms materials such as wood, cloth, metals, lead and iron, into extremely creative hybridstructures (which recallLeonardo da Vinciœs artifacts orDuchampœs works), as a visual denounce of our consumer society. With a comprehensive selection of his extensive artistic production (sculptures, installations and photographic montages) from the 1980s to the present day, his work comprises "a rare degree of imagery disturbance, which even touches the consecrated aura of the work of art in its established credit."
