As you may remember, I made a short note not so too long ago, about Carlos Enriquez' sculptures based on the japanese caracter "Astro Boy", well I was lucky to get an invite to the opening night of his exhibit this past saturday on the Wynwood Art Distric in Miami.
Carlos Enriquez's proposal is based on the recreation of a series of colosal monstrous personalities. The japanese Kaiju Eiga, meaning "mysterious creature" inspires their hybrid appearance. These mutants descend from a post nuclear parallel universe whose strange appearance combines anthropomorphic elements (eyes, armr, legs), zoomorphic )scales, claws) and vegetation (flowers). The complex anatomy of these fiberglass beings lustrous surface and florescent colors constitute an imaginary answer to the destructive menace of the biological weapons and their consequent influence in the collective psyche.
