Eduardo Rincón’s work is based on biological, natural and organic processes that present a reflection on the natural forces that manifest in the form and development of plants. He produces plants experimentally at his workshop and nursery that he later uses for installation purposes, sculpture, drawing and painting. He has taken his research on native trees to reforestation projects.
This artist’s work may be considered as object painting since his work includes objects produced by nature: flowers, seeds and plants that he adds to his pictorial techniques as a real element that opposes to the illusion of image.
Art-Object rises simple, every day objects to the dignity of art as proof that art is, first and foremost, a mental attitude that lives in the mind of the viewer. By exhibiting these paintings/objects, aesthetic qualities may be appreciated instead of their practical purposes. His work makes us accomplices to a flirtation between two and three-dimensional art, technique and expression, and most importantly, between nature and culture.
