$Object: I only know what I have seen by Andrés Anza.Ceramic, acrylic paint. 2023.45 x 40 x 150 cm.Awarded at: LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2024Unique piece.Winner of the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2024 . . This life-sized totemic ceramic conjures both plant and animal forms. Assembled in five parts, the work is constructed from refractory clay and features a dynamic composition that appears to twist, turn, and fold in on itself. Thousands of tiny, spiked protrusions covering the work’s surface lend it a further amorphic quality. After the work was fired in a kiln to give an even surface, acrylic paint was applied. This monochromatic finish allows light and shadow to further emphasize the work’s highly textured surface..$
