Artistas de Otazu #1

Leandro Erlich

AO1 Leandro Erlich

The first edition of our project was conceived in honor of the work Valkyries of Otazu, which the Argentine artist Leandro Erlich created exclusively for the winery and which was inaugurated on February 19, 2017 in the Lordship of Otazu. In this label, Erlich alludes to music as an essential and cohesive element that the winery uses to accompany the aging of its wines.

In the summer of 2013, Erlich exhibited his work Dalston House, an optical illusion at the Dalston Mill site in Dalston, east London, featuring a huge mirror suspended at 45º ( from horizontal) on a life-size model of the facade of a Victorian house placed horizontally on the ground, giving the appearance of visitors climbing or hanging from part of the building. On September 20, 2015, the Obelisk of Buenos Aires seemed to dawn without its tip thanks to an intervention by the artist Leandro Erlich made using a mirror.
