osCar LarroCa

1962 born in Montevideo, uruguay
lives and works in Florida, uruguay

Larroca dreams of a world of
infinite lines...drill the apparent
substance he observes, sear-
ching for the real insistence of
the expression. Pencil in hand,
he displays and imposes to us
a new order for inquiring, Thus,
he approximates, discovers,
brings to light what was born
not to be seen... and he spends
pleasant days doing this. Larroca
is a sensualist of the matter.
Like the egyptian sculptor who
was not afraid of the desert’s
open space or the monumen-
tal, Larroca is not afraid of that
minute infinite that hides inside
of everything. His monumentally
 has an opposite sign; he crosses

to us while he carries us to the
immanent... In other words: he
goes deep in the matter until he
finds diction for the immaterial...
his working consists in putting
size and value to the unnoticed.
He practices visual archeology in
humans, animal and things but
with a metaphorical precision
(the precision belongs to the
pencil, the poetics to the artist)...
the fact is Larroca trespasses the
objects, he transcends them.
