Edgardo Rodriguez

Overview

Born in Argentina in 1942, Edgardo Rodriguez' art is driven by repossession and sustainability. In a meticulous model of recycling, Rodriguez transforms the process of decay for waste materials, namely plastic bottles, redefining them as aesthetic products and building blocks for decorative sculpture. This conversion process has special value for the artist - with a past exhibition entitled Chamanes, translating as 'Shaman', the artist sees his role of modifying the way his materials are perceived as a reflection of the key spiritual values of ecology.
