GUARDIANS
INTEGUMENT is the skin, the shell, the very last barrier that protects the body during the contact/collision with the outside world.
This consideration has suggested this project representing the needs of living things need for protection from external agents which are able to attack, to violate the content of the enclosure by looking through it. It is a system to protect our own secrets, to conserve our own emotions from very high to very low.
The artist made his sculpture from old wheelbarrow baths, where two are gathered together (one bath on top of another one) in order to create a ‘kind of shells’. An individual or in a group arrangement helps create a sense of protection of its inside from the viewer. We must admit :we can only understand what we are shown.
It’s exactly the ‘shell’. Deep inside is where we all keep our most private thoughts and feelings.
Andrea Cereda creatively focuses on cast iron utilizing pieces of scrap iron and time-worn, rusty and discolored panels from dump and pinning them ‘desperately together’ (the artist likes to say) to hold them in place and perform his works.
His approach is to create art out of found materials initially inspired by aesthetics and conceptual concepts but no matter how complete the initial idea, it may become simpler, more practical, it may expand into something totally different and this may also have something to do with different artist’s emotions being involved with. Working on one sculpture can lead to others too.
Andrea Cereda has been exhibiting art worldwide in solo and group exhibitions since 2001.
