AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Torres is a sculptor whose work often centers on form, material, and physical presence. His sculptures have a direct, tangible quality and emphasize the tension between mass and space. Instead of a smooth finish, Torres regularly opts for visible traces of the making process, giving the work a raw and honest appearance.
A hallmark of his work is his attention to balance and weight: forms sometimes appear simultaneously stable and vulnerable. Whether referring to figurative cues or abstract structures, the sculptures invite you to walk around them and experience them from multiple perspectives. The material — often wood, stone, metal, or combinations thereof — plays an equally important role to the form itself.
The work of John Torres does not demand a quick interpretation, but a physical confrontation. It is precisely through that sobriety and concentration that a quiet intensity emerges and lingers.
