Adrian villar rojas biography

Argentinian sculptor

Adrián Villar Rojas (born 1980 in Rosario, Argentina)^[1] is an Argentinian sculptor known for his elaborate fantastical works which explore notions of the Anthropocene and the end of the world.

In his dream like installations he uses aspects of drawing, sculpture, video and music to create immersive situations in which the spectator is confronted with ideas and images of their imminent extinction.^[2]

Villar Rojas studied Fine Arts at the National University of Rosario, Argentina.^[3] He works with a production team that travels to form a nomadic studio for each new project to whom he refers to as his "theater company".

His works are predominantly destroyed at the end of each exhibition yet somehow they remain alive though remnants that are carried over into subsequent works.^[4]
