“When he was young, Oscar wanted to be Michelangelo, and the whole of his life has been a gradual abandonment of this supreme goal. Nonetheless, he has pursued the Renaissance ideal as few contemporary architects have done, devoting himself to architecture, interior design, industrial design and furniture, painting and writing. This exhibition brings together, somewhat quirkily arranged within the alphabetical order, some of his abundant creations, which plunge us into a labyrinth of concerns, proposals, obsessions and controversies. All of this sprinkled with extracts from the opinions of some of his illustrious friends, who have chosen a “voice” to describe the author. Fiercely impassioned and individualistic, Postmodern without feeling guilty about it, more classical than avant-garde, more of a perseverer than a virtuoso, more enthusiastic than analytic, Oscar sees himself an anarcho-bougeois who does not believe that art progresses and feels that the public should be the only judge of his work.”
