Pablo Atchugarry. Pablo Atchugarry is a contemporary Uruguayan sculptor with roots in drawing and painting. His father, Pedro, was a student of the founder of Constructive Universalism, Joaquín Torres García (1874–1949), which influenced Atchugarry as a young artist. Pablo Atchugarry is known for his marble works which resemble the monoliths of early civilizations. Influenced by Contantin Brancusi and Michelangelo, Atchugarry treats sculpture as an extension of the materials he employs. Born on August 23, 1954 in Montevideo, Uruguay, his parents encouraged his artistic talents from a young age. Early on, Atchugarry worked with a variety of materials, including cement, iron, and wood. Though after visiting the town of Carrara, Italy in 1979, he was entranced by Carrara’s famous marble quarries and workshops. In 2007, the artist established the nonprofit institution Fundación Pablo Atchugarry in Manantiales, Uruguay, the foundation promotes visual arts, music, and literature in the community. Atchugarry currently lives and works between Lecco, Italy and Manantiales, Uruguay. Today, the artist’s works are held in the collections of the National Museum of Visual Arts of Montevideo and the Perez Art Museum in Miami.
