Andrés’s practice is often articulated around transmutational and cosmological movements. Through sculpture, drawing, and installation, he summons experiences of a territory and its underlying processes, paying particular attention to its vital cycles.
In the studio, the material becomes charged with affective sensations: blockage, impulsivity, insecurity, repression, excitement or fear.
Andrés Izquierdo’s practice is often articulated around transmutational and cosmological movements. Through sculpture, drawing, and installation, he summons experiences of a territory and its underlying processes, paying particular attention to its vital cycles.
In the studio, the material becomes charged with affective sensations: impulsivity, insecurity, repression, excitement or fear. Andrés focuses on states of depression where vulnerability is felt as a descent/ascent.
Out of an interest in dejection arise tenderness and pareidolia, as possibilities for accompanying loss.
Through processes of gathering, fusing, firing, and reassembling, Izquierdo brings movement to to what would otherwise remain fixed: moons in mitosis, unfolding and supporting one another; angelic beings of clay and bone that oscillate between the magical and the precarious; or synthetic flowers collected in the vicinity of cemeteries to be incorporated into pending structures.
Situated in Carrascosa (Cuenca), Izquierdo’s more recent investigations focus on the forms and traces of abandonment and on the processes of decomposition/composition occurring in its environment.
