Jesús Moroles works achieve a poetic resonance of material, form and motif. Working exclusively with granite, a stone of great density, hardness and weight, Moroles combines cutting and polishing techniques with the natural presence of the stone to create works of universal stature. The sculptor feels granite is “the core and heart of the universe.” Abstract in form, the granite works are a confluence of references and metaphors drawn from the landscape and from human interaction, as well as ancient cultures. This exhibit will feature small to monumental scale sculptures including Dreamscape, Broken Earth, Mano De Jesús, Chess Set and Chessboard Table, Tres Mujeres and Musical Comb.
