Work detail of Tony Cragg who occupies the Brazilian Museum of Sculptures and Ecology in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on 4 January 2020. Tony Cragg, a British artist residing in Germany and one of the most important sculptors in the world today, is one of the rare artists who works with a wide range of materials and displays familiarity with all of them. Besides drawings, the show presented at MuBE features sculptures in wood, bronze, steel, stone, aluminum and glass. His production reveals an intimate relationship between the chosen materials and the final appearance of each piece, even though some strong colors can mislead us. Shown alongside his drawings - which are themselves a field of exercise for thought - the artist's tridimensional works gain a history, as though we could see the lines and planes that gave origin to their structures. The drawings, even though they are autonomous artworks in their own right, are a sort of matrix for thinking and also an unfolding of his visual research.
