ABOUT ISAAC CORDAL

Through the simple fact of miniaturised and well-thought-out placement, Isaac Cordal magically expands the horizons of the passers-by who come across his sculptures in the street. His exhibit Cement Eclipses proposes a critical definition of our behavior as a social mass. Our relationship with nature is severely called into question, though some installations also let us see a ray of hope.

His statuettes present fragments of our daily routine, depicting men and women suspended in their movement. The precariousness of these anonymous silhouettes, at shoe height, is like a nomadic relic from a society in the throes of illness. The figurines contemplate the destruction / reconstruction of all that surrounds us. They draw attention to the absurdity of our existence.

The city is both playing field and decor, where Isaac enacts, in a surprising manner, with poetry, humor or irony, the banal or more tragic moments of life that grab our attention as we walk along the street.

Isaac Cordal is a street artist who uses miniature figures such as these above and below as part of a massive public installation using 2,000 miniature figures such as figures in business suits with ski-masks on looking like crooks and other figures looking scared and worried talking on cell phones being displayed in apocalyptic ruins and circumstances.

Cordal says this ” is a critical reflection on our inertia as a social mass. representing a social stereotype associated with power compound businessmen who run the global social spectrum.”
