This dossier covers forty years of Norberto Gómez’s work, from his minimalist constructions of 1966 and 1967 to the anti-monuments he produced in polyester and bronze in the nineties. In between, his series of “guts”, organic remains, weapons and “plasters” punctuate a long career that has enriched the Argentine art scene.

From this year up to the present day, he makes many drawings in ink, pencil and, a few of them, red pencil. They develop the fantastic iconography of the sculptures exhibited in 1990, perhaps in a freer manner due to the quickness of the technique, but with as much attention to detail. The imagines overflow with fragments of men,  animals and objects fused into a new reality, shaken by the madness of passion and grotesque humour. Mannerist images, emerging from nightmares, fantasy tales or simply an old repertoire of models make a gallery of scenes that seem to hint at a perpetually open-ended, inconclusive, disquieting narrative, which alludes to unmediated reality but, at the same time, goes beyond it by triggering imagination.
The Fundación Klonex of Argentina chooses him as one of the one hundred best visual artists of the previous decade, emphasising the importance of his work as a sculptor between 1987 and 1991.
