SCULPTURES
From the figurative columnar objects of the southern school in Uruguay to the assembled columns of Louise Nevelson, the use of sculptural verticality has been an element that challenges the artist’s creativity in limited spaces and aesthetically difficult to conform.
There are and have been many artists who resort to this element as an iconography of warfare, but not Jorge Riveros, who found in them the possibility of harmonizing a personal and historical narrative in a way as noble as the support of the wood itself.
In this series of sculptures sketched more than 40 years ago, the master Riveros conceives a work in which all his symbolic and ancestral heritage is manifested.
