Oscar Dominguez

Works

Oscar Dominguez exhibited at Galleria Gagliardi from 2006 to 2007.

Dominguezis accostumed to "force" the land with excess heat, until making it implode and compel all of the chromatic exuberance, tactile and material, hidden in its pores. 

Oscar Dominguez was born in Tucuman, Argentina, in 1970. After his academic training he moved in 1999 to Faenza (Ra), where he lives and works. His sculptures are enriched by the light and warmth of the earth; they are poor in materials but can release strength and energy, passion and vigour. Each work recounts a journey, a search into the history of myth, to come to tell of man, nature and life in an absolutely timeless space.

His main exhibitions and participations include: International Biennial of Cairo, Egypt (first prize), 2000; International Biennial of Cairo, Egypt (guest), 2002; Rojo Tierra, one-man show at Circolo degli Artisti, Faenza, 2003; Memoria del fuego, curated by J.
