“Prego’s works over recent years comprise a body of research into the very nature of sculpture. He has reduced his formal vocabulary to basic geometric bodies engaging with the language of Modernism and the repertoire of Minimal Art, the big-bang moment for new attitudes in contemporary art. Making use of ductile and light materials, his pieces question the very materiality of sculpture as they only exist in a certain state or form or as the by-product of an ongoing action on the material of which they are composed. And finally, their location, which is to say the topological relationship between the sculpture and the space it has been placed in, is actually inscribed within the works, in an ambiguous replacement of architecture by art. In consequence, form, material and space are conceived as an intertwined and inseparable relational system, in which any decision in one of the variables leads to a change in the others, and vice versa.”
