Mixed Media
Victor Grippo was an Argentine artist whose practice spanned sculpture, installation, and conceptual work from the 1960s onward. He engaged with potatoes, electricity, and alchemical processes to investigate relationships between matter, energy, and human perception. His work often employed humble agricultural materials and simple scientific apparatus to propose philosophical questions about transformation and knowledge. Grippo's interventions operated at the intersection of minimalism, land art, and conceptual practice, grounded in a distinctly South American engagement with the body and spirituality.
