Lopez’s body of work explores the human condition and how  iconography is transformed through current incidents of cultural  collisions. The artist employs a minimalist aesthetic, incorporating  divergent industrial materials as a means of critiquing present day  cultural phenomena.  Lopez’s Blue Angels (Paper White series) builds on inversions of  cultural iconography, investigating notions of human failure. This  series features four (4) 10-feet tall mirrored aluminium forms leaning  against the wall, appearing to sag, and endowed with a feather-like  paper quality that betrays its finish. Lopez reclaims and reinterprets  the visual language of minimalism and defies expectation of the  material, transforming heavy-duty industrial aluminium, into a  crumpled, delicate form.
