Figurations on Plastic (Figuraciones sobre Plástico in Spanish) is an exhibition by two artists in the field of post-modern surrealist figuration, Rafael Trelles in conjunction with María Antonieta Ordóñez. According to Manuel Alvarez Lezama, Trelles and Ordóñez have accepted the challenge to turn the human figure into poetry by using plastic as their support to let us see ourselves on plastic, an everyday reality for millions in this technology-oriented/slave society of ours.[1]
