Summary: | LITORAL (COASTLINE) comprises a selection of sculptures made since 1988 by Carlos Runcie Tanaka (Lima, 1958). Since 1978, Runcie Tanaka has run a pottery studio in Lima, where, aside from his artwork, creates functional pieces made from stoneware clays and local materials that are fired in gas kilns reaching temperatures of 1,300C (2,375F). "The works of Carlos Runcie Tanaka are ceramic sculptures that often refer to a fossil world and speak of antediluvian times: allusions to a natural environment before the presence of human beings on the face of the Earth, made from clay and burned by fire at more than 1,200° C, to enable the imagination to encompass a dimension of time beyond the anthropocentric horizon, when the sea and the planet were other. --Artists web page. |
