Artisanal Conceptualism: Starting Point — BARRO NEW YORK


30.03.2023 Artisanal Conceptualism: Starting Point de Marcelo Pombo en BARRO NEW YORK presents three bodies of artist´s works: Dibujos de San Pablo [The São Paulo Drawings] 1982, Conceptual Textiles 1990s, and his recent drawings. Dibujos de San Pablo [The São Paulo Drawings], are an ethnographic fantasy made with soft pencil strokes, portraying scenes of sexual sociability with new dissident political imageries. In the 1990s, the conceptual complexity of Pombo’s operations proliferated, including elements that deny certain premises of contemporary art: the incorporation of ornament, the decorative, and the cosmetic into the found object (“ready-made”). The exhibition concludes with five drawings Pombo made between 2022 and 2023: an obsessive weaving of lines and plots with ink, colored pencils, markers, acrylic, and tempera on paper.
