Ricardo Rendón "Open Works"

Vicky David Gallery

This event has ended.

The Vicky David Gallery presents an exhibition of the Mexican artist Ricardo Rendón.

Ricardo Rendón (born 1970) is a Mexican artist who lives and works in México City. His conceptual and minimalist work, as well as its unique visual language, makes him an artist emblematic of the young Mexican generation. For his first solo exhibition in New York, the Vicky David Gallery will present a series of works in felt material entitled "Open Works".

Since 2003, Rendón has developed a unique reflection on the roles of the artist and the creation process in contemporary times. Reconsidering the nature of the practice of art, he questions the process of artistic creation and production. Whereas an increasing number of artists delegate execution to specialized companies, Ricardo Rendón produces his works independently because "new ideas come through the act of making". He sees his work as the commemoration of a set of moments of production, revealed by the alteration of the material or in the workspace.
