Wilfredo Prieto is a sculptor whose work is characterised by a minimalistic and scarce visual language that associates found materials and objects. Reflecting on the value and usage of these materials, which he consciously extracts from their context, Prieto proposes striking, visual sculptures and installations that highlight the narratives, familiarity and socio-cultural meaning that they carry. Grounded in the history of conceptual art and minimalist sculpture, Prieto’s work challenges the visitor’s perception and reception of art, working with the immediate and raw materiality of the objects he uses. Interested in remnants and the unnoticed, Prieto’s sculptures crystalize the fragility and volatility of visions and fleeting instants in our era of over-production and saturation.
