About the Item

"Anteater," is a magnificent sculpture by Hechizoo that embodies the intersection of artistic mastery and cultural innovation. Rooted in the recent exhibition "Original Sin" and guided by the creative vision of founder Jorge Lizarazo, this sculpture emerges as a captivating testament to the transformative nature of Hechizoo's textiles. Crafted with meticulous precision, the Anteater sculpture is a mesmerizing amalgamation of a metal structure wrapped in bronze, copper, and other intricate metal threads. The utilization of these materials echoes Hechizoo's innovative approach, informed by Lizarazo's architectural background and the studio's commitment to "soft architecture." The copper, with its radiant hue, serves as the primary canvas for this exceptional piece, enriched by the inclusion of blue and gold threads that dance across the sculpture's form. Each metal thread contributes to a narrative of texture and color, creating a visual tapestry that reflects the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of Hechizoo's creations. The tail, a focal point of the sculpture, is a striking blend of artistry and nature. Composed of Mongol hair, its long yellowish-white strands resemble a horse's mane, adding an unexpected yet harmonious element to the piece. This detail not only speaks to Hechizoo's commitment to diverse and unique materials but also introduces a touch of whimsy to the sculpture. As a true work of art, the Anteater exemplifies the dedication and effort invested by Hechizoo's artisans. The sculpture becomes a visual dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity, mirroring the ethos of "Original Sin." It is an embodiment of the delicate balance between heritage and innovation, where the intricate details and the fusion of materials transform the anteater into more than a mere representation—it becomes a captivating exploration of cultural richness and artistic brilliance.
