Oscar Tuazon presents a series of works and sculptures shown for the first time in France. These pieces are part of his ongoing exploration of water and its relationship with the environment and architecture.
Inspired by paper marbling techniques, the artist uses pigments to create fluid patterns, capturing the movement of water through color. The pigments are treated as sculptural elements, interacting with their environment. A series of scale model fountains, made of concrete, branches, and steel, combine brutalism with natural elements, offering sculptures that oscillate between transformation and petrification.
Oscar Tuazon collaborates with designers, engineers, and craftsmen to create monumental installations and public commissions, referencing Land Art and Minimalism. Since 2016, he has also developed Water school, an educational and moving project exploring the diverse dimensions of water as a unifying element among people, places, materials, and objects. Primarily using architectural techniques and materials such as steel, glass, or wood, he adopts a do it yourself approach to create structures and installations.
His sculptures are usually quasi-functional objects or models of various spaces; the construction process itself can be seen as a performative part of the work.
