Ernesto Burgos: Implications

The sweeping gestures of Ernesto Burgos’ work exist almost as an affront to gravity. The sculptures rest in a natural state of tension—formed through the manipulation of cardboard, fiberglass and resin.

Spread throughout the atrium of the UB Anderson, the sculptures act as a reverberating composition in relation to the unique interior and exterior space of the gallery. There is vibrancy in the gestural sculptures. The abstract yet organic forms shift, fold, and swoop. Through his investigation into form and material and how these meld together, the works imply movement and expression while coaxing the viewer to contemplate them from all sides.
