The Artist

Andres Anza.

MX

Mexican Sculptor from Monterrey.Andres Anza. Monterrey, Mexico 1991. Graduated from the Bachelor of Arts at the University of Monterrey. (2014) ​ Andrés uses ceramics as a medium to create amorphous beings that seem to belong to a known ecosystem but result unrecognizable because they are extracted from abstract imagination. The volume, the relief and the excessive texture require that pieces always have different angles of appreciation, seeing them is an exercise of recognition and an invitation to understand what we do not know. His work has participated in numerous exhibitions in Mexico, including the Emerging Art Biennial and the UNAM Biennial, in which he received Honorable Mentions. His work has also been exhibited in different cities in the United States, Italy, Spain, France, Denmark, Switzerland and South Africa, of which the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize and Officine Saffi Award exhibitions stand out, exhibitions in which he received First Prize and an artistic residency respectively. ​
