Celebrated Venezuelan Artist Ender Martos has just finished and unveiled a massive sculpture at the new Headquarters of Hewlett Packard Enterprise in Texas.
No doubt you know we re in the 21st century. And we re in the year 2021.
Well that, as it happens, marks the 21st year that artist Ender Martos has been living in Austin.
That, as it happens, was preceded by 21 years of him living in his native Venezuela.
Martos has taken advantage of this convergence of 21s to create a virtual exhibition that explores not only his artistic work, but also his life – and not only his life in the two 21-year spans he s enjoyed so far but also the life he aspires to live in the 21 years to come. Images of his work are accompanied by photographs of the artist as a child and a young man, videos of him in the present day at work and play in Austin, text and audio in which he shares his history and philosophies, and digital renderings of future works – it s art exhibit as biography.
