Puerto Rican-born sculptor Rigoberto Torres worked in New York City for two decades before moving to Kissimmee, where he currently lives and works. Seen and collected throughout the world, Torres' colorful life-size plaster and fiberglass figurative sculptures are rooted in a celebration of daily life in the South Bronx neighborhood where he grew up. His work, described as "humanistic naturalism," provides sensitive studies of real people -- family, friends, neighborhood heroes and strangers he has met during public castings. The two-gallery exhibition begins with an opening reception and gallery talk by Rigoberto Torres at 7-8:30 p.m. Friday, February 6, in the Jenkins Gallery on the Crealdé main campus, and continues with a reception featuring Latin jazz from 8:30-10 p.m. at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center.
