Gregorio Peño: Selected works, 2017-2021
All processes involved in ceramics from the collection of the earth, the preparation of the clay, the creation of the object up until it is put under fire, mark a timeline that is familiar to me. The transformation of the material is for me a conceptual dictionary which defines an artistic routine aside of the one set by schools and other groups.
There exists a common gesture in all my objectual investigation, a gesture that is not simply a measurement between what is human and what is an object, but an assemblage, a crossroads with no dividing lines between practice and theory or craftsman and artist. Matter is conceived as an element of deepening and development.
