About the Item
Introducing "Pa'Lante" - a striking sculpture by the renowned artist Carlos Rolon. Measuring at 10 1/2 × 10 1/4 × 9 3/4 in or 26.7 × 26 × 24.8 cm, this exquisite piece is a basketball accompanied with a cotton sack, resulting in a unique and intriguing aesthetic.
Carlos Rolon is a celebrated Puerto Rican-American artist, born in Chicago in 1970. He is recognized for his ability to blend cultural symbols and vernacular, seamlessly fusing together elements from his Puerto Rican heritage and urban upbringing. He creates large-scale installations, sculptures, and paintings that examine themes of migration, identity, and the human condition.
In "Pa'Lante," Rolon masterfully combines two seemingly unrelated objects - a basketball and a cotton sack - to create a captivating work that explores issues of race, class, and power. The basketball, a symbol of urban culture and athleticism, is juxtaposed against the cotton sack, a reminder of the labor exploitation and racial oppression that fueled the American economy for centuries. Through this combination, Rolon prompts viewers to reflect on the complex history and ongoing struggles of the Latinx community in the United States.
This sculpture is part of an edition of 100, making it a rare and valuable addition to any art collection. It is a testament to Carlos Rolon's exceptional talent and unique artistic vision. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of contemporary art history.

Carlos Rolón
Dzine—pronounced “design”—is the moniker of Carlos Rolon. Wary of stereotypes and pigeonholing, he shifts between easel painting, sculpture, installation, and large-scale murals, exploring cultural tensions, aspirational mobility, and outward appearances through a uniquely biographical, immigrant-focused lens. The artist’s work is largely concerned with “kustom kulture,” a retro-tinged blue collar aesthetic, and its relationship to faux opulence and upper-class aspiration. This focus on over-the-top glamour addresses Dzine’s personal grappling with his dual mainland-American and Puerto Rican identity. His series of crystal-embellished mirrors mimics the security gates of Puerto Rican houses, contradictorily alluring and keeping people away, while a series of ornate sculptural works reference the belts and trophies of boxing culture; such cultural objects allude to Dzine’s time spent watching boxing matches with his father as well as an out-of-reach upper-class lifestyle.
