This new space was intended as the burial place of the two benefactors.

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Carpenters Workshop Gallery Los Angeles presents an exhibition celebrating the prolific career of the late architect, sculptor and designer José Zanine Caldas, whose sculptural style and commitment to ecological awareness made him a leading figure in Brazilian modernism.

The second life is generated by the human hand and spirit.” Raw and sensual in character, the works combine modern elegance with an environmental consciousness that was avant-garde for this radical creator’s time. Growing up in Belmonte on the west coast of Bahia, Brazil, Caldas found inspiration in the work of local craftspeople who carved each boat from a single felled log. The artist became known for using salvaged elements of wood and ceramics, whether natural waste from the forest, scraps from factories or rubble from ...
