Artwork Description

Andrés Anza has chosen ceramics as the material he uses to create sculptures, seemingly abstract, but at the same time organic, intending in this way to stimulate the spectator’s perception. As he models his works, the artist takes his inspiration from nature, both organic and inorganic; a thorn from a rose, an indentation in the ground, but also the human body. In reality shape is only a pretext to obtain the spectators’ involvement, seemingly calling on them to recognize and define the object they are observing. Starting with a profound knowledge of the medium and being a highly skilled artisan, Anza creates truly aesthetic stimuli and brings his works to a conclusion just at that point where the spectators’ questions begin. Monochromatic, abstract and entirely covered with pointy spikes, the artworks entwine, spread out, group together, dissolve, create a surreal and indescribable ecosystem. Andrés Anza’s sculpture represents a joining of the ceramic artisan tradition and the development of the most recent practices and concepts in this area. Here in fact the terracotta is not glazed, but has a surface texture: opaque and painted in acrylics, that almost seems to conceal the real nature of the material of which it is made. Even in the techniques he uses, Anza’s work maintains its dualism and ambiguity.
