Aldo Chaparro — 198 ingots
Aldo Chaparro

198 ingots

Aldo Chaparro's *198 Ingots* presents a commanding accumulation of raw metal forms, arranged in a manner that invites contemplation of industry, weight, and material value. The work transforms the utilitarian language of manufacturing and commerce into a sculptural meditation on abundance and excess. Through the repetition of identical units, Chaparro explores themes of standardization, labor, and the seductive power of raw material.
