Drawing

Rafael Ferrer is an American sculptor and installation artist known for immersive environments that combine natural materials, found objects, and theatrical spatial arrangements. Working primarily in the postwar period, his practice encompasses ephemeral installations, kinetic sculpture, and large-scale environmental works that emphasize process and site-specificity over finished form. Ferrer's approach to material and space has positioned him as a significant figure in the development of installation art and expanded sculpture practices in the United States.
