Los Carpinteros

El pueblo

2004

A sweeping architectural rendering depicts an idealized yet enigmatic urban settlement, rendered in delicate watercolor washes and precise graphite lines. Los Carpinteros employ their signature blend of technical draftsmanship and conceptual wit to imagine a collective living space that hovers between utopian planning and ambiguous social commentary. The work reflects the Cuban duo's ongoing fascination with architecture, labor, and the politics of communal life.
