Pina II by Los Carpinteros is a hand-signed 1997 lithograph with hand coloring that transforms a pineapple into an experimental scientific apparatus exploring themes of electricity and innovation. This 22.25 x 29 inch limited edition print exemplifies the Cuban collective's signature approach of reimagining everyday objects through surreal, technical interventions. Los Carpinteros blend conceptual art with meticulous craftsmanship, creating works that question the boundaries between art, design, and functionality. The hand-colored elements add unique variation to each print, making this a distinctive example of contemporary Latin American printmaking that merges humor, science, and social commentary.
