Tony Berlant, Espanola, 1988

Espanola is a small house with open walls, containing several cubes, all covered in the artist’s signature technique, tin foil fixed with an army of small nails. In 1964, Tony Berlant (born 1941) created his first cube sculpture, which has since become one of his signature forms. In the late 1980s, his work shifted away from three-dimensional forms to elaborate collages that resemble paintings. Tony currently resides in Santa Monica with his family and continues to create intricate, painterly pieces.

Española es una pequeña casa con paredes abiertas que contiene varios cubos, todos cubiertos con la técnica característica del artista, papel aluminio fijado con un ejército de pequeños clavos. En 1964, Tony Berlant (nacido en 1941) creó su primera escultura de cubo, que desde entonces se ha convertido en una de sus formas distintivas. A finales de la década de 1980, su obra se alejó de las formas tridimensionales para elaborar collages que se asemejan a pinturas. Tony reside actualmente en Santa Mónica con su familia y continúa creando piezas intrincadas y pictóricas.
