Rigoberto Torres
Rigoberto Torres (born 1960) is a sculptor who was born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico and worked in New York City, before moving to Florida where he currently lives and works. Torres began working in a factory where religious figures were cast,〔Adrichem, page 120〕 producing religious statuary.〔(Art in review ) (accessed April 27, 2009)〕 He also considers himself to be a community based artist.〔Boughton, Mason, page 74〕
==Sculptures==
Torres is known in part for the sculptures in plaster and fiberglass that he created of his neighbors in the Bronx, together with his partner John Ahearn. Between the years 1981 and 1985, they collaborated on four murals. These were ''We Are Family'', ''Life on Dawson Street'', ''Double Dutch'', and ''Back to School''.〔Kwon, page 89〕 The sculptures, like much of Torres' work, were displayed in public attached to buildings, free standing and in street events as an element of performance art.〔 On many occasions, Torres would prompt Ahearn to move their studio to the sidewalk along Walton Avenue so that neighborhood children could watch and also volunteer as subjects.〔Woodward, page 106〕〔Hoffman, 223〕
Torres' sculptures show an instinctive drive to create tableaux〔(Grace Under Pressureby Dan Cameron ) (accessed April 27, 2009)〕 from single figures and are included in the field of humanistic naturalism because they accurately portray people.〔 He met frequent collaborator Ahearn in 1980, when Torres was working in a factory casting religious statues. They worked together on the Bronx sculptures, sometimes known as the ''South Bronx Hall of Fame'', creating monuments to ordinary people as a response to the practice of enshrining famous, heroic figures in public places.
