Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Geometric Sculpture Watercolors Blur Perceptive Lines

— November 21, 2013 — Art & Design
These Geometric Sculpture Watercolors by Cuban art collective Los Carpinteros fuse traditional architectural imagery with crystallized forms that appear to emerge out of their built subjects. The crystals encase built structures and furniture pieces, creating otherworldly compositions.

These painted works capture large-scale geometric sculptures that are transparent as if to resemble a glass materiality. These stunning sculptures are showcased in pale pink, green and blue hues that are juxtaposed with natural brick and wood material details.

Bringing a fantastical vision to life, these delicately painted works defy tradition while playing with their viewer's perception. Whether depicting a geometry-infused brick home or a crystal-encased chair object, these Geometric Sculpture Watercolors by Los Carpinteros showcase the immense talent and unique shared vision of the Cuban art collective.
