Description

Juan Orti (born 1974) Untitled Sculpture Ceramic Date of creation: 2024 H34 L18 D18 cm Juan Ortí is based in Valencia, Spain. He uses the potter’s wheel as a tool to create pieces designed to be assembled. This process lends the objects an apparent coldness, but by reducing the amount of visual information, it focuses the viewer’s gaze on a few minute yet profound details. These are sculptural interpretations of the geometric architectural forms that are ubiquitous in our daily lives. The visual language of his work is characterised by a refined beauty, lending elegance to industrial forms that are often austere and devoid of soul. Do not expect to find any superfluous ornamentation in Ortí’s creations. He uses the wheel and the potter’s wheel to recreate the purity of form found in the most functional manifestations of industrial or agricultural architecture, transforming simplicity and functionality into pure beauty. The texture of the objects—dry yet soft—catches the light perfectly and lends the table-sized sculptures the illusion of monumental scale. Ortí does not completely remove the marks of the manufacturing process, but retains the subtle traces of the lathe’s machining; these details remind the viewer of the origin and true scale of their experience, a return to reality.
