Ernesto Burgos’ works bring the enthusiasm of Abstract Expressionism into the third dimension with gravity-defying forms that harness the tension between painting and sculpture. His wall-based sculptures serve as a conduit for his ongoing exploration of transformative dynamics, stemming from earlier experiments with regular, everyday objects that delved into the boundless potential of materials.

” The artist’s gravity-defying works – which are classifiable neither as paintings nor sculptures – have lifted off the floors and moved onto the walls. If the earliest art emerged from a defensive posture, Burgos’s works have precisely the opposite aim: they embrace a certain vulnerability by reaching beyond the limitations of their medium. Their curved surfaces warble hopefully, like birds in flight.”
