Pedro Reyes invites us into his sculptural art studio in Mexico City

A newly built, prefabricated, concrete object with rounded edges in the historical Coyoacán neighbourhood is artist Pedro Reyes’ new studio and headquarters in Mexico City

‘As I am a sculptor, I needed more room for a larger atelier and decided to move south of the city’, recalls Reyes. ‘Coyoacán is a settlement that dates to Pre-Colombian times, 800 years ago.

‘I wanted it to have a modern feel, industrial, almost like a work of infrastructure,’ he says. ‘The facade of the property had been damaged by the earthquake of 2017, which allowed me a permit to do constructions, but it had to be done fast, so to respond to that opportunity I decided to use prefab elements.’ Inspired by the Brutalist architects of the 1960s, the artist worked with prefabricated concrete elements, creating pronounced curves for its edges, which gives it an object-like feel.
