About the Item
Chunky Dory is a work by contemporary Argentinian artist Marcelo Martin Burgos.
Original artwork is limited edition of 6 sculptures and 2 artist's proofs, sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Marcelo Burgos’ artistic universe is deeply inspired by the world of childhood. Dreams and nightmares from that formative time—populated by fantastical creatures, monsters, demons, and dragons—serve as his primary source of inspiration. His series The Robots emerged during the global lockdown at the start of 2020. While leading online drawing workshops for children, Marcelo Martin Burgos observed how the figure of a robot functions as an emotional avatar in a child’s imagination. Detached and mechanical, the robot becomes a figure children can project onto—especially during moments of anxiety and uncertainty.
This emotionally neutral character also provides a compelling artistic opportunity: it allows the creation of rigid, geometric forms that are nevertheless charged with the emotional resonance of childhood.
Burgos primarily works in bronze, a material he values for both its nobility and versatility. Through his work, he invites viewers to reconnect with childhood as a “golden age” of freedom, joy, creativity—and also fear. “My aim,” he says, “is to conjure images and emotions that remind us of the most creative, astonishing, and terrifying years of our lives: the golden age of childhood.”

Marcelo Martin Burgos
Marcelo Martin Burgos lives and works between Buenos Aires and Madrid. The artist’s golden bronze sculptures are anchored in the childhood universe he is fascinated about. Monsters, dragons, robots and other creatures populating childish imagination are the main subjects of his sculpture activity, also fed by the cinematic production he practices in parallel. Bronze, that he appreciates for its versatility and golden finish, allows him to create mirror-like sculptures that reflect the childhood images and memories of those who look at them. “My work is deeply connected to childhood and gold is a way to exalting children creativity. Childhood memories are golden.’’
