Project Description

Andrés Anza Monterrey Mexico

Andrés Anza (b.1991)

 

Born 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 the city of Monterrey, Guadalajara and
Mexico City, of which the Emerging Art Biennial and the UNAM Bienal stand out, samples in
which he received Honorable Mentions. His work has also been exhibited in different cities in
the United States, Italy and Denmark.
