This work also contains a clear commentary on consumerism and how American culture has permeated and is dominating the world. For over two decades Escobar has produced a steady body of work that challenges the viewer to review mass-produced objects; their traditional uses are overturned so new uses and meanings can arise. At first glance his sculpture may appear to be common everyday, readymade objects; however, closer examination reveals the inclusion of detail-oriented craftsmanship, as well as an exploration of forms, surfaces and areas.Exhibitions
