'MUST' duo show Domingos Tótora & Katrien Doms
OPENING WEEKEND 27 & 28 NOV. 2021
Domingos Tótora lives and works in Maria da Fé, a city in the mountainous region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the artist chose recycled cardboard as the source material for his work. In his studio, cardboard collected with the community’s help is broken up into small pieces and turned into a pulp, which serves as the base for his art pieces.
All artworks are hand-molded, dried in the sun, and finished to perfection. In this careful and labor-intensive process, the cardboard, which originated from wood, essentially is brought back full cycle by taking on a wood quality again.
Katrien Doms is a Belgian Artist using fire/heat and nature/climate as a medium. Every piece is completely handmade without the use of any electrical device and
hollowed out with fire and extreme heat.
Using fire and nature as a medium, exposes Katrien Doms to a very physically intense and time consuming process. All forces of nature have their impact on this making process and ask sometimes for the artist to stop, pauze or start again. These tides of creating
make the artworks even more precious.
