Mexican artist Pedro Reyes has transitioned his practice to focus on traditional stone carving at his Coyoacán studio, following a career established in conceptual 'social sculptures.' Utilizing local volcanic stone and Nahuatl pictograms, Reyes produces modernist works influenced by Mesoamerican motifs and the legacies of Constantin Brancusi and Isamu Noguchi. The artist recently exhibited new stone sculptures at Lisson Gallery in New York, emphasizing a manual, low-technology production method to support local craftsmanship.
