Marcela Cabutti

Marcela Cabutti (La Plata, 1967) is a contemporary sculptor who makes carefully crafted pieces.
Her artwork dialogue with the particularities of space, reconfiguring from the direct relationship with
their environment. She works from her expertise, experience and intuition, giving shape to
constructions that refer to architectural structures, as well as to glass installations that find their
inspiration in organic shapes such as raindrops.

Her pieces -although they partially modulate a known language- become themselves new worlds,
as unprecedented conformations crossed by concepts and affections that come from it, but at the
same time exceed it, acquiring a life of their own. Its shapes and its materialities raise infinite
questions.

The materials she uses show themselves bluntly -the ambages are in sight, the glass is translucent
or colored- and also, some of the pieces find their nearest reference in architecture -such as
arches and columns- but even so, the formal composition of these works appear to us in an
obstinate and somewhat indiscernible way, as if they were slipping away to another time and to
another space that does not fit entirely into that of our contemporaneity.

Her works are influenced by great architects such as Louis Kahn, as well as by large industries
such as the San Carlos Glassware and the Ctibor brick factory, with whom she has a direct
relationship by exchanging practices and skills.
