“Uncanny Papier-Mâché Creatures”

Colossal shares a gallery of Papier-Mâché Creatures made by Roberto Benavidez for his exhibition Bosch Beasts.

“Benavidez continues to make piñata-like sculptures that resemble uncanny, hybrid creatures, often inspired by the marginalia of illuminated manuscripts and the surreal characters in Hieronymus Bosch’s ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights,’ which the Netherlandish artist painted between 1490 and 1510.

Bosch Beasts highlights Benavidez’s ongoing fascination with the rare and extraordinary, exhibiting new works alongside pieces he’s made throughout the past decade. Installed on the floor or suspended from the ceiling, his creatures appear independently occupied and immersed in an esoteric group activity.”
