Pedro Reyes,
‘Glyptotek’
@ Lisson Gallery
— 

“A fictional, pan-
historical museum
of sculpture.”  

The exhibition: 
Is Reyes's first
London solo since
his 2013 show with
Lisson Gallery titled
‘Disarm’, through
which the Mexican-
born artist explores
both figurative and
abstract approaches
to sculpture utilising
materials including
volcanic stone,
marble, bronze
and steel. 

“Most statues
commemorate a 
historical event,
or the life of an
influential person... 
—
Given the current
political climate,
I envisioned the
anonymous protester
as the incarnation
of a contemporary
hero, taking to the
streets as an act
of resistance.”
