Manuel Neri
Hombre Colorado II

1958

About the Item

"Hombre Colorado II" is a papier-mâché sculpture made by Manuel Neri in 1958. The total dimensions of the piece are 65.5 x 27 x 10 inches. This work is a good representation of the painterly figurative sculpture for which Manuel Neri is known. A member of the “second generation” of Bay Area Figurative Movement, Neri was a prominent figure in the San Francisco art scene for many years and well-connected to other prominent artists: he studied under Richard Diebenkorn. His primary subjects are life-sized women applied with brightly colored paint, often texturing the surfaces of his sculptures with scratches and gouges. Neri's work is included in numerous public collections, such as the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Seattle Art Museum. Provenance: Private Collection, 2004

  • Atleta 2 - La forma, nella penombra, trattiene la sua forza
    Located in Milano, IT
    These are figurative works, of classical or archaic inspiration, reinterpreted using strictly contemporary signs and communicative languages, decontextualized and transformed into decorative elements: bar codes, qr codes, wi-fi icons, @, symbols of well-known advertising campaigns, numbers / formulas, which combine to form the vision of a dystopian archeology of the future which bring the individual closer to goods or objects, traces of mechanical or computer elements, which testify to a reality, ours, which has already happened, already lived. It is like an eye on the archeology of a distant future, or on a contemporary discovery that indicates an end already seen, towards which we can move. The metal structures are supports that enter the composition and the aesthetic vision and communication of the topics covered. The "cages" at the same time constrain but support, they root to the ground but soar upwards, in a liberating tension. ATLETA 2 - LA FORMA...
