About the Item
Celebrated for his bold, origami-inspired, metal sculptures that explore psychologically complex themes, Gerardo Hacer will take over the Broadway Mall on September 14th from 36th to 39th Streets in New York City, greeting pedestrians who will walk through the colorful exhibit of two dark turquoise coyotes, two medium turquoise rabbits, a magenta elephant, a yellow dog, and a green bear cub. Fabricated from powder coated steel, the sculptures vary in size; with the largest of the series, "Coyote, Stalking", prowling over Midtown Manhattan at 14 feet long.
Hacer’s introduction to the nostalgic art form began at age seven when a volunteer in one of his foster homes read, “Sadako And The Thousand Paper Cranes” by Eleanor Coerr. His reductive reinvention of the aesthetic evolved technically over decades along with its conceptual counterpart. The resulting work is an amalgamation of innocent childhood play, indirect exposure [in adulthood] to Alexander Calder’s fluid experimentation with form and [after recruitment by renown art fabricator, Peter Carlson] first hand working knowledge of Jeff Koons novel approach to materials, John McCracken’s exhaustive attention to detail and Ellsworth Kelly’s steadfast commitment to minimalism.
After enduring a tumultuous upbringing, Hacer often turned to art and creativity as an escape. Choosing “Hacer” (Spanish verb: “to make”) as his new name, he broke free from his difficult past and now works as a sculptor, designing and building large-scale, origami-inspired forms in bold, solid colors. Through his work, he aims to elicit a dynamic response about the viewer’s relationship to their childhood and believes through this interaction all can begin anew.
Different sizes are available (1/8, 1/4, 1/2).

Hacer
Hacer is an American sculptor who designs origami-inspired, folded metal sculptures with a minimalist approach. Exploring psychologically complex themes, his reductive reinvention of the aesthetic evolved technically over decades. Hacer’s introduction to the traditional art form began at an early age when he was exposed to Sadako And The Thousand Paper Cranes and later, as a young adult, to Alexander Calder’s fluid experimentation with form. The resulting work is an amalgamation of innocent childhood play, experimentation with form, first hand working knowledge of Jeff Koons novel approach to materials, John McCracken’s exhaustive attention to detail and Ellsworth Kelly’s steadfast commitment to minimalism. The perfection of his technique in combination with a monumental vision has manifested in museum exhibitions and large-scale, permanent sculptural installations, including most recently, The Chase series of four large-scale sculptures along Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California.
