Search results for 'GERARDO FELDSTEIN' at the museum of art

Gerardo Feldstein’s sculptural work is marked by a playful, imaginative and often whimsical engagement with the human figure and form. Emerging from a background in painting, Feldstein constructs his sculptures using a variety of materials — including wire, wood, textiles and mixed media — to create figures that stretch, distort and reconfigure the body in surprising ways. These works often feature exaggerated proportions, such as oversized hands, arms or feet juxtaposed with smaller heads, giving the figures a sense of both humor and poetic absurdity that invites viewers to reflect on the absurdities and curiosities of everyday life. His sculptures balance a sense of material expressiveness with conceptual wit, making familiar forms feel fresh and evocative rather than literal. Across his body of work, Feldstein explores movement, balance and presence, using the physical tension of his materials to convey emotion and narrative without relying on detailed anatomy. The resulting pieces often feel as if they are caught in mid-action — playfully stretching beyond their own outlines or engaging with space in unexpected ways — creating a dynamic visual rhythm that animates exhibition spaces. This approach, combining whimsy with thoughtful construction, gives his sculptures a unique voice within contemporary Argentine and international art, engaging audiences with both their inventive forms and subtly reflective character.
