Taco Gato artwork de Zeta Yeyati a piece that transforms discarded matter into feline storytelling.
In Taco Gato, the figure of the cat becomes the protagonist of a playful yet unsettling scene, where recycling is not only a material strategy but a philosophical statement. This mixed media piece—acrylic, stencil and collage on paper, 70x100 cm—invites us into a feline world that doesn't aim to represent reality, but rather to unlock a visual narrative full of symbolism. "Taco Gato" is more than a whimsical name, it's a bridge between the mundane and the imaginary, a creature born from a dreamlike realm made of textures and fragments. Yeyati animates this cat with materials rescued from abandonment, transforming it into a quiet yet firm critique of overconsumption. Graphic lines, painterly stains and rich textures define a singular, expressive character whose gesture dominates the scene. The composition achieves balance through ornamental and narrative elements, triggering a story filled with humor, nostalgia and magic. The color palette—yellow, black, red and blue—enhances the vivid, endearing essence of Yeyati's characters, each with a captivating and revealing gaze.
Where discarded things become poetic
Argentinian-born Zeta Yeyati is a visual artist who has turned waste into the core of his visual poetry. Though he's widely known as a musician, his creative path began with drawing in his childhood. His sensitivity is fed by the forgotten and the discarded, transforming them into works rich with emotion and memory. Yeyati doesn't just recycle materials—he recycles meaning, constructing imaginative universes out of what others throw away.
Taco Gato obra de Zeta Yeyati and the freedom of gestural creation
The artistic process behind is rooted in a deeply free and autodidactic practice. While he trained with notable figures like Pujía, Ferrari and Aisemberg, his work follows no defined school. Instead, Yeyati finds expression through mixed media and reclaimed materials like wood, metal and forgotten objects. In this piece, his symbolic cat emerges from a fusion of spontaneity and deliberate construction, gesture and compositional harmony. represents more than a character—it embodies a worldview, one that is intuitive, raw and profoundly human.
A visual story that plays with time and material
Yeyati's work transcends the flat plane to speak of time's passing, of memories trapped within repurposed matter, and of art's magical capacity to transform. In , the viewer is invited to rebuild stories from fragments, to connect with both playfulness and nostalgia through a critical and heartfelt lens. It is a work that doesn't end with what it shows—it expands into what it suggests, confirming art's power to remake the world with what it leaves behind.

Presentation
Zeta Yeyati (Burzaco, 1965) is a visual artist who has transformed recycling into a poetic language and forgotten matter into an act of aesthetic redemption. While the public has come to know him as a musician in projects like Los Intocables, La Mississippi, or Babel Orkesta, his true creative roots lie in the visual arts. Visual expression was his first terrain. Before the chords came drawing. Before the stages came interlocked tree trunks.
A restless and sensitive autodidact, Yeyati attended workshops with figures such as Antonio Pujía, León Ferrari, and Diana Aisemberg, yet his work doesn't follow any formal school. He moves freely between ceramics, collage, stencil, and assemblage. His aesthetic is nourished by what others discard: street posters, scraps of iron, furniture legs, bronzes, and aged wood. A dumpster was his first museum. Then came flea markets, where he continues to collect remnants for his unique pieces.
In his works, dogs, birds, musicians, queens, horses, and magicians coexist, as if each figure emerged from a story older than the object itself. His repertoire is populated by characters that rise from the collage with the force of a lucid dream. He does not seek to imitate reality but to reincarnate fragments of it. As curator Rodrigo Alonso described, his art is a “vital philosophy" — a gesture that defies consumerism and embraces the possibility of reviving the forgotten.
Color —present with striking intensity in his recent work— arrived through an internal shift: his encounter with Milo Lockett, which not only redefined his palette but also his way of sharing his universe. Since then, Yeyati's work pulses with a more playful energy, without losing its symbolic depth.
Yeyati does not merely create images —he builds an emotional archaeology from the remnants of everyday life. Each work is a story made of time, memory, and waste; a rescue act that restores humanity to matter. From that gesture —profoundly plastic and profoundly human— his art speaks to those willing to look beyond the surface.
