Artists on the Internet: Fernando Casás |
||
|
This month we’re visiting the website of acclaimed sculptor Fernando Casás, the creator of a work entitled Árboles como arqueología (Trees as Archaeology) in the province of Huesca. |
||
|
Casás has spent his life between Brazil and Galicia, an experience that has shaped his career as an artist, leading him to work and pursue his education in both places. The sculptures he creates tend to be monumental, and he uses a wide range of materials provided by nature, from tree trunks from the Amazon rainforest to materials from the coast of Galicia. Through his works he seeks to erase the borders between nature, the world of culture, and perception, with the aim of making people more aware of nature and getting them to perceive landscape in a respectful way.
The website is divided into 16 sections: 00 Introduction to the work 01 Early works 02 Gateways to nature 03 Archaeological remains 04 Insect cycles 05 Erosion 06 Roaming project 07 Phosphorescence 08 Handmade paper and ceramics 09 Installations and interventions 10 Public works 11 Water 12 Other works 13 Background and bibliography 14 Writings 15 News 16 Contact More information
