Sculptor Mozart Guerra from Brazil is engaged in a very unusual way of knitting. From nylon laces, he creates creative sculptures, tying them around a frame made of polystyrene, so that the sculpture looks like three-dimensional knitting. The sculptor has no limitations in themes, plots and ideas: it can be philosophical, humorous, topical, or even just sculptures on the theme "I wanted". The author says that in this way he gives himself the opportunity to think and create more broadly, to demonstrate to the audience his own attitude, and not to squeeze either them or himself with any specific framework. This is probably why he does not give his sculptures any specific names.
Monkeys-totems, geisha with sewn-up mouths, skulls, clowns, animals with or without horns, with and without fangs - all this is just a small part of the numerous sculptures by Mozart Guerra. And despite the fact that they are all variegated and multi-colored, they still shape our world, reflecting its diversity, diversity and multicoloredness. As in real life, everyone is on their own, but together we are a single whole that inhabits the planet, so sculptures made of nylon threads make up a kind of society, united by a common denominator - the author, material and purpose.
As for the purpose, then there is also no need to go into the jungle. The self-sufficient multi-colored world of rope sculptures by Mozart Guerra has long been traveling through exhibitions and galleries not only in Paris, where the sculptor has lived and worked for almost 20 years, but also in Italy, Spain, France, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Portugal … More information - on the website Mozart Guerra.
