'KERU 202' - vase/vessel

Creator: LAS ÁNIMAS
Offered by: Marion Friedmann Gallery

Description
The KERU vessels or vases are a collection of 15 objects, made using the lost mould technique.
Due to its handmade creation process and the randomness in the arrangement of the colours, each unit is in itself a unique piece. Made by artist duo LAS ÁNIMNAS, Spain.
Las Ánimas, the artist couple formed by Trini Salamanca and Pablo Párraga, was created in Seville in 2014.

Each one of these KERU totems is inspired by ancestral cultures and uses a palette of acid tones that decontextualize the pieces.
Their reflections, transparency and melted look resemble that of blown glass, but it’s in the volumes, textures and craftsmanship involved in their manufacture, that the value, charm and magic of these artworks lies. The KERU vessels are conceived as functional talismans. Their energy flows from their duality between art and usage, shamanic power and objective reality. Each one of the combinations of shapes and colors is limited to a numbered series of 8 units.

The creative universe of Las Ánimas starts from and seeks to make the mind wander, as an altered vision of reality, created through a language of minimalist, geometric and iterative patterns; to develop an iconography of retro-futuristic, transgressive, ceremonial and deeply evocative aesthetics through experimentation with different materials, shapes and textures.
