Cruz Novillo

CentroCentro presents a retrospective exhibition devoted to the career of the artist José María Cruz Novillo, organised as a thematic itinerary through his output.

This exhibition brings together a group of sculptures made in stone, wood and bronze, as well as works on paper and collages that reflect the artist's aesthetic research from the 1960s to recent creations. The display combines historical pieces, such as the manipulable structures and the works shown at the São Paulo Biennial, with recent production, including the cycle linked to the facade of the National Statistics Institute. Visitors can walk through rooms displaying maquettes, preparatory drawings, archive material, publications and photographs that illustrate the creative process and the artist's conceptual development around geometry, colour and sound.

The cultural centre hosts this route through the work, designed for audiences interested in contemporary art and design. The selection of pieces makes it possible to follow the evolution of a body of work that moves between two and three dimensions, showing the connections between the early cycles and the most recent works across different supports and materials.
