Rodrigo Machado Iturbe
Rodrigo Machado Iturbe is an established Venezuelan kinetic artist with extensive international exposure who has participated in numerous art fairs and solo shows, nationally and internationally. The main media of his op-art is aluminum, treated and lacquered with acrylic paint and varnished with a matte UV finish, making it highly resistant to external elements. The quality of Machado’s art is not only technically highly sophisticated, but it is truly impeccable, and has been praised by renowned international art critics.
Machado’s artwork, exclusively represented in Oregon and Washington by Liz Contag Art, can be found in both residential and commercial spaces around the world. Liz Contag, in conjunction and under the expert guidance of the artist, can work closely with architects and developers for large scale installations and commissions. We are proud to share that Rodrigo Machado Iturbe recently unveiled his monumental Public Art installed in his home town, Caracas, Venezuela.
