"Curiosity Killed... 2023" by Reynold Rodriguez marks a captivating evolution in the artist's exploration of anamorphic elements, seamlessly blending them with a refined portrayal of his distinctive style. The title ingeniously plays on the dual meaning of "curio" as a storage console, weaving it with the symbolism of an owl—an embodiment of curiosity. This artwork introduces a significant departure, as Rodriguez consciously integrates plaster and wood to sculpt the animal form, featuring a raw block of hurricane-felled mahogany. The fusion of materials and forms is a testament to the artist's innovative approach, with all hardware meticulously crafted to align with the simplicity and directness of the original model. "Curiosity Killed... 2023" stands as a harmonious synthesis of craftsmanship and conceptual depth, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of curiosity, artistry, and the interconnectedness of mediums.
