Arte Madera and "The Chair".

From the Wood Art workshop we have collaborated in the exhibition "La Silla" with the following proposal:

To create a SCULPTURE that, taking the chair as a reference point, puts the focus on the function of rest, of SEATING.

Starting with a wooden BLOCK, the design phase begins, being the material itself and its formal characteristics the ones that direct the creation.

SIMPLIFICATION will be sought by directing the work towards ABSTRACTION.

The dimensions of the piece will be reduced, approaching the piece as a three-dimensional BOCET.

The participation has been great and the result very interesting due to the diversity of the works and the involvement of the students in achieving good finishes.

 In the exhibition, we have arranged the pieces on shelves, with little separation between them, forming part of a whole that could take us to an artist's studio. To a wall where the studies-sketches of possible chair designs-sculptures accumulate.

Sometimes all we need is a small piece of wood and a reference-idea as a starting point in the creative process.
