About the Item
This inhabited ceramic head sculpture transforms portraiture into an architectural threshold, inviting the viewer to look through the face and into an interior space. Fogar 1 belongs to a two-piece sculptural series developed from a single ceramic head, from which two distinct built forms emerge. In this version, the emphasis is placed on the act of inhabiting: the body is conceived not simply as shelter, but as an interior environment that can be visually entered and explored.
The sculpture allows direct access to its inner chamber, revealing a spacious room defined by a wooden floor and large arched windows that function as architectural openings rather than decorative considerations. This permeability between exterior and interior shifts the work from object to spatial experience, where the gaze moves from facial anatomy to constructed interior. The ceramic component is made from white clay with fine chamotte and fired at low temperature, preserving a soft surface quality and subtle material irregularities. The chestnut wood structure, treated with lasur and nitro varnish, forms the architectural envelope and internal framework, balancing warmth, durability and structural clarity.
Designed as a freestanding sculptural object, Fogar 1 aligns with 1stDibs categories such as Small Sculptures, Architectural Objects and Contemporary Ceramic Works. Keywords including inhabited sculpture, ceramic head sculpture, architectural interior object and sculptural dwelling reinforce its visibility for collectors interested in works that merge figuration, architecture and spatial narrative.

Jose Perozo
Jose Perozo (Vigo, 1978) is a Spanish sculptor with a background in Sculpture from Mestre Mateo in Compostela and Scenic Machinery and Set Construction from Escénica in Granada. His artistic trajectory is characterized by an exploration of the relationship between the human body and architecture, employing an industrial and scenographic language that blends the dreamlike with the structural. Perozo’s work reflects a conceptual approach, using raw materials and forms to investigate themes of identity, inhabitation, and the interplay between the physical and the abstract.
Since 2017, Perozo has presented a series of solo exhibitions that have defined his artistic identity. Notable among these are Bastións, held at the University Church of Santiago de Compostela, and Fragmentaria, developed during his residency at the Eugenio Granell Foundation, where he began to reinterpret the human body as an architectural construct. His work gained international visibility in 2020 with an exhibition at the PO.RO.S Museum in Coimbra (Portugal) and participation in global projects such as the Ibero-American Rotary Club collective exhibition in Portugal. Highlights of his recent career include the solo show ANTROPOTECTURA at Monty4 Gallery (A Coruña) in 2023 and appearances at major art fairs like Hybrid Art Fair and Estampa (Madrid). Perozo's collaborations with galleries such as José Lorenzo, La Doce, Casa das Peritas and others further underscore the evolution and depth of his sculptural practice, which continues to bridge the figurative and the conceptual.
