Artist Replete presents Conejo Armado by Federico Uribe. Translated as Constructed Rabbit, this sculpture marks a striking evolution in Uribe’s exploration of unconventional materials. Constructed entirely from nails and screws, hundreds of individual metal elements are meticulously assembled to form the body of a rabbit, transforming industrial hardware into a dense, tactile surface that feels both rigid and unexpectedly organic.

The rabbit, often associated with softness and vulnerability, is reimagined here through materials synonymous with strength, labor, and construction. This contrast creates a quiet tension within the work, where form and material challenge one another.

From the compact posture to the layered metallic texture, this piece exemplifies Uribe’s mastery of process and his ability to elevate ordinary objects into compelling sculptural statements. The work stands as a powerful addition to his animal series and a significant example of his continued innovation within contemporary sculpture.

Federico Uribe is an Internationally known artist and one of the top selling artists at Art Basel in Miami. His unique style has created a long list of famous collectors, including Domenico Dolce (Dolce & Gabbana).

In 1988, Federico Uribe left Colombia and moved to New York where he would study a master in fine arts degree. Throughout those years he was guided by Luis Camnitzer, who taught him essential skills that Federico would later use for his own personal artworks. After years of studying and practicing, Federico traveled, living in Cuba, Mexico, Russia, England and Miami where he is currently based.

His most recent work includes a series of animal sculptures created with bullets and colored pencils. This representation with bullets was triggered when the artist recognized animals being hunted for fur and 90 percent of the remains thrown away. The series took on more playful direction with the use of color pencils, a medium often used during adolescence.
