Welcome to the latest edition of The Concretely Newsletter 🔲. We’re back after a short break.
Help build the Concretely Collection
I’m looking to build a little collection of concrete sculptures. To get started, starting a quick competition. The winner artwork will become the inaugural piece of the Concretely Collection.
Original, unique work, theme: New beginnings
Budget: $250, including shipping
Shipping + size: needs to be safely shipped to San Diego, CA
Submission deadline: Aug 15, 2022
To submit work, please email the title, year, size, material of work and 2-5 high resolution photos of the piece to info@theconcretely.com with the subject line “Concretely Collection“. One artwork per artist please.

Profile: Carlos H. Matos 🔲 (Mexico)
“By using the tools and methods of both architecture and sculpture, Matos deliberately places himself at an ambiguous point between the two disciplines. He strips what could be architectural elements off most of their context, inviting its purpose and meaning to become re-evaluated. Matos and Lucas Cantú formed Tezontle (IG, article), a collaborative project, in 2015”
