Isaac Contreras is a Mexican contemporary artist whose multidimensional work probes the interplay between visibility and disappearance, material and concept, and social norms. His work often centers on liminality—topics like suspended states, desert life, and the poetics of exception. He interrogates visibility, rationality, desire, and how images and objects construct social meaning.
His sculptures, along with his installations, writings, and sound pieces, engage with transitions and marginal spaces. With a strong international presence through exhibitions and residencies in Mexico, Europe, India, and Puerto Rico, Contreras continues to cultivate a deeply thoughtful and critically reflective artistic practice rooted in queerness, decolonial thought, and the power of the unseen.
