Los Carpinteros是一个位于哈瓦那的艺术家团体，目前由Marco Castillo和Dagoberto Rodriguez(第三位成员，Alexandre Arrechea, 2003年离开)组成，他们创作了一系列的作品，包括雕塑、装置和电影。我最喜欢他们的作品是这些可爱的抽象画乐高和其他结构建筑作品。他们创造装置和图画来协调功能性和非功能性之间的空间。对于Los Carpinteros来说，绘图作为一种模拟的技术草案或蓝图发挥了不可或缺的作用，它不仅意味着一种艺术精雕细琢的过程，而且还意味着一种建筑或木工计划的形式。
Los Carpinteros is a Havana-based artist collective currently comprised of Marco Castillo and Dagoberto Rodríguez (a third member, Alexandre Arrechea, left in 2003) who produce a wide range of works including sculpture, installation, and film. My favorite of their works are these lovely abstract paintings of Legos and other structural or architectural pieces. Via Sean Kelly Gallery:Interested in the intersection between art and society, the group merges architecture, design, and sculpture in unexpected and often humorous ways. They create installations and drawings which negotiate the space between the functional and the nonfunctional. The group’s elegant and mordantly humorous sculptures, drawings, and installations draw their inspiration from the physical world—particularly that of furniture. Their carefully crafted works use humor to exploit a visual syntax that sets up contradictions among object and function as well as practicality and uselessness. For Los Carpinteros, drawing has played an integral role as a mock technical draft or form of a blue print that suggests not only a process of artistic elaboration but also a form of architectural or carpentry plans.You can explore over 100 of their paintings in high resolution on their website, and don’t miss this interactive 360 degree walkthrough of an exploded room at Hayward Gallery in 2008.
