Hammer

2014 - Sculpture (Sculpture)

Dim. approx. 9cm, height 35cm

Oscar Tuazon


Oscar Tuazon‘s sculptural oeuvre is situated at the border of art, architecture and technology. Engaging different methods of construction, he frequently uses wood, concrete, glass, steel, and piping as materials to create his structures and installations. Tuazon’s works have roots in minimalism, conceptualism, and architecture, and have a direct relationship with both the site in which they are presented, as well as with their viewer, often through physical engagement. They maintain an improvised, precarious quality that draws upon his long-standing interest in how the built environment is redefined and redesigned by the act of inhabitation. In the series Hammer , the loss of functionality of the chisels molded into concrete cylinders gives form to a sculptural object with a new practicality that can be read in light of its title.
