Bio
Andrés Izquierdo (Madrid, 1993) makes use of psychoanalysis and allegory to inspire an exploration of childhood, grief and the restorative qualities of space and the object. Using a number of different and varied media—including mobile sculptures, furniture design, figurative ceramics, marker pen drawings and architectural installations— his works are driven by a juxtaposition of contrasting anarchic yet structured conditions, earth and sky, biology and theology, or emergence and dissolution. Fascinated by what is and yet at the same time isn’t, Izquierdo interweaves physical presence, that is, landscape, cosmology and phenomena with conscious contemplation in the form of intrusive thoughts, daydreams and other bodily sentiments and stimuli.
