Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist sculpture features a cylindrical form composed of vertical wooden slats or planks arranged in a radial pattern. The overall aesthetic is dark and monochromatic, with the warm, earthy tones of the wood contrasting against the dark background. The repetitive, geometric structure and the play of light and shadow create a sense of simplicity and balance. The artist's emphasis on materiality and form suggests a focus on the sculptural qualities of the piece, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay of volume, texture, and negative space. The austere and minimal design reflects the artist's intention to distill the work down to its essential elements. ...

B.2015, Mexican

Tezontle founders Carlos H. Matos (b.1983, Mexico City) and Lucas Cantú (b.1982, Monterrey), who live and work in Mexico City, established their joint practice in 2015. Oscillating between the endeavors of an architecture firm and that of an art practice, Tezontle creations are grounded in an attunement to the ways in which the built environment reflects fragments of history, and thus are imbued with all sorts of myths, constructs and inventions. With intensive material experimentation, they have constructed a distinct imagery that refers to a bucolic utopia, at once modernist, pre-Hispanic and primitive. The artists’ process includes curating found objects with self-made ones, generating innovative, formal and material narratives. Their method is deliberately independent of scale, postulating that when scale is rendered irrelevant, the sculptural becomes the architectural and vice versa. Matos and Cantú collaborated in the Architectural Association’s experimental concrete workshop ‘AAVS Las Pozas’, which took place every summer in the Huasteca Jungle, serving as a research platform that aimed to forge links between craft and culture in the town of Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, MX. Tezontle has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at Friedman Benda, New York, US; at the MARCO Museum in Monterrey, MX; LIGA, CDMX, MX; Museo Tamayo, Mexico City, MX; and an off-site exhibition by PEANA curated by José Esparza Chong, presented during CONDO Complex in Mexico City, MX. Public works include ´Tenaza´ a monumental sculpture commissioned by the XIII Havana Biennial in Havana, CU.. They have participated in different residencies like La Casa Park in New York, US; Casa Wabi in Puerto Escondido, MX; and ´Tu casa es mi casa´, Richard Neutra’s VDL House in Los Angeles, US; amongst others.They were also shortlisted for the Serpentine Pavilion in London, UK. ...
