Description

Navegando el mar blanco-fondo unfolds across four panels, where fragmented silhouettes and floating forms suggest a journey through shifting seas of memory and imagination. Constructed with layers of contact paper on vellum, the stark contrasts of black and white create a rhythm of presence and absence, evoking navigation through open space. The composition feels both expansive and intimate, inviting viewers to drift through its abstractions and discover new shapes within its currents.

Artist Statement

Gadiel Rivera Herrera was born in 1963 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He started his studies in Ceramics and Sculpture at the Universidad Interamericana Puerto Rico, San Germán Campus (1988) and obtained a B.A. in Sculpture from Escuela de Artes Plásticas in San Juan (1991). He was the first recipient of an art residency at Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR) sponsored by the Darryl Chappell Foundation (2022). 

Navigating between ceramic, sculpture, drawing, and collage, his practice is nurtured by a range of mediums, each one contributing different attributes to my work. While researching particular topics, he simultaneously experiments with materials which inform his conceptual work.
