Rodrigo Torres presents its new installation, A Safe Place, composed of eight new sculptures, which will occupy the first floor of building 11 of the Rio headquarters. Created based on his interest in leftover construction materials and natural elements found in the Tijuca Forest, the works on display are the result of a long journey of experimentation with various techniques, such as painting and collage, and even ceramics.
The title of the work comes from “the place of memory that speaks of the feeling of protection from childhood, that place to which one can return,” explains the artist. Using ornaments and refinement in the compositions, Torres subverts the genre of contemplative still life, moving the viewer through questions about the perception of reality – as exemplified by the various overlapping layers that appear to be covered in cardboard, but are, in fact, pieces made of clay.
