Gerardo Feldstein came to sculpture through painting. Born in Buenos Aires, he studied electrical engineering for a few years, started to paint and today he is an artist in various fields. His sculptures are made of different materials, he uses wire, wood, textiles and other things to form his works. It is always something uncommon and bizarre that marks his pieces. The bodies have enormous hands, arms or feet, though it seems like their tiny heads aren’t able to tell them how to move their tremendous extremities. His wire sculptures literally extend their scope and get out of line. What unifies all his works is a common sense of humor and a certain astonishment that we all share on our journey through life.
The artist depicts men in jet black suits with extremely exaggerated gestures. These bald characters with big outstretched hands embody humorous narratives as they point, climb, reach, and grab at the unknown. The strikingly long bodies defy gravity and seem to stretch before the eye as they balance tediously on white pedestals. His work is reminiscent of the bold works by Swiss sculpture Alberto Giacometti who came to be regarded as one of the leading surrealist sculptors in the 1920s through the 1960s. Feldstein’s detailed sculptures are a combination of resin, wire, and an array of other materials. See more of these bizarre sculptures below.
