About the Item

Iluminista, 2024 Additional information: Medium: Blown glass Dimensions: 44 1/4 × 11 × 12 in 112.4 × 27.9 × 30.5 cm Signature: Hand-signed by artist, initialed and dated on the base Certificate of authenticity: Included (one issued by gallery; one issued by authorized authenticating body) Iván Carmona (b. 1973) is an American artist who was raised in Puerto Rico where he developed a strong, visual vocabulary of images that have come to influence his work today. These visual emergences span representations of Spanish colonial architecture, dense colorful vegetation, and intricate textures and patterns. Through the use of tropical landscape and traditional cultural idiosyncrasy, Iván's identification with the structures and beauties of his home is distilled and poignant. Employing imagery, form, and texture, Ivan's exploration of the relationships between human emotions, culture, identity, and geographic connections, enables him to capture the complexity, the personality, and the history of his art. Iván Carmona’s ceramic and glass works exist in a long lineage of abstracted, modernist sculpture that taps into a deep well of nostalgia and indirect association. Inspired by Puerto Rican landscapes, Carmona sifts his own intimate memories through distinct shapes, colors, and textures to give a physicality to the immaterial. The resulting clay forms become universal in their utilitarian means of activating specific human emotion. Their formalist simplicity invites an untranslatable response, a wholly unique echo of the original feeling. Stark, vibrant color mixes with precariously suspended components, opening up a private, inscrutable language that shifts with each viewer. “A shape, word, texture, or color can activate potent memories, and this sense of nostalgia is key to a reading of my work. The sculptures are abstracted; they aren’t one-to-one representations. Each emotional memory is passed through the sieve of Modernism, creating connections between my remembrances and recollections of the past and the timeline of art history.” — Iván Carmona
