Carlos Rolón
Pa'Lante, 2019 Basketball with cotton sack

2019

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.
