Oscar Abraham Pabón

Oscar Abraham Pabón (Venezuela, 1984) is interested in modernism’s intellectual heritage and its visual language, and applies this to everyday, utilitarian objects. He has incorporated elements from a Rietveld chair into his own desk and transformed a towel into an archetype of an architectural scale model. In this way Pabón lends ordinary products a sculptural character, simultaneously unveiling modernist design’s true intentions, seemingly knocking it off its pedestal.
