Toni Riera Roma (Lleida, 1974)
Toni Riera has always liked to decontextualize objects, play with them, reconvert their function, elevating them to the category of art, reusing and recycling them among themselves, to build artistic pieces such as sculpture or installation.
Recycling as a working method, objet trouvé, assemblage and Ready Made as a source of inspiration. An unconscious game from childhood, a three-dimensional object puzzle that will be part of a new piece, with touches of humor, irony and mass pop culture.
“The discovery …. this is my motivation to create, the curiosity that chance provokes, to nourish myself with objects of various kinds, searching the beaches of Menorca after the winter storms or recovering objects in the streets and containers of my neighborhood, objects abandoned, thrown away, forgotten, dragged by the waves of the sea, appropriating materialto build my pieces. «
