Lot Essay

Marcelo Pombo's work incorporates collage, painting with industrial materials, objects and drawings, cut out paper, glossy painting, plastic and other popular materials that the artist finds in neighborhood stores. However, they are characterized by an intense manual construction and assemblage of the elements used. Pombo's manual involvement with the work itself allows him to create compositions that do not depart from a pre-conceived idea; it is in the actual creative process that the formalism of the composition appears.
