Miguel Aquilizan

Trained as a sculptor, Miguel Aquilizan uses found, scavenged and collected objects to create assemblages and sculptures. Working with a diverse range of objects, the artist explores environmental issues and social history through poetic narratives. In Post Vitruvian, Aquilizan evokes the Roman architect Vitruvius and Leonardo Da Vinci’s celebrated drawing, Vitruvian man, a masterpiece of Renaissance art. Da Vinci’s drawing represents his concept of the ideal body proportions of a man, with Aquilizan inviting us to ponder the accuracy and relevance of this ideal.
