About the Artist
Emerging from Argentina, Gabriel Chaile (b. 1985, San Miguel de Tucumán) has garnered international recognition for his monumental, evocative sculptures that resonate deeply with ancestral traditions and cultural memory. Working primarily with natural materials such as clay, mud, and adobe, Chaile transforms these modest elements into imposing, often anthropomorphic figures that blend functionality with symbolic power. His artistic practice is deeply informed by indigenous narratives, folk art, and the history of his native Tucumán, exploring themes of food, community, ritual, and the human condition. Chaile's works, frequently oven-like or vessel-like forms, invite contemplation on the spiritual and communal aspects of sustenance and belonging.
