Michael Ross (born 1954 in Buffalo, New York) is an American contemporary artist, known for his small-scale sculptures. [1] Although Michael Ross has exhibited conceptually based works including performance, mail art, video, and audience participation projects, [2] the last twenty years have seen the artist direct his focus toward small, precise wall mounted sculptures created from scraps, unidentifiable hardware and miscellaneous things. [3] Michael Ross's earliest small-scale sculpture consisted of a single upright thimble containing the dust from several rooms of his home. [4] A small work created by the artist in 1994 made a wry salute to large-scale minimal metal sculptures like those of Donald Judd. [5] Over the years, Ross has also created numerous unique tiny sculptures inspired by the Japanese fairy tales of the writer Lafcadio Hearn. [6] His focus on the minuscule has justly identified the artist as, "a true scholar of the tiny kingdom" [7] and “a pioneer of the subversive small gesture”. [8] Michael Ross received his BFA at The State University of New York, Buffalo and his MFA at Columbia University in New York, NY. [9]

Far from the standards of the Cuban Revolution art, and without falling into topics of other artists from in and out of the island, Cordero samples pretexts whimsically obtained from various referential origins and shows us his work as a result of recycling, of a revival, creating a new reality that refers more to art than to any other apparent content.
