SCULPTURES & INSTALLATIONS

These are the first works of Roger Toledo’s artistic production. Three peculiarities perceived in these works will be present in his future creation: his craftsman skills in wood, the analytic design and the search of a pattern showing how to arrange the space. All these features are original, without ornaments or elaborations. The basic elements of each sculpture are small wood fragments with a simple shape and finish. However, the joint of the pieces is arduous, thorough, involving physical and geometric skills. The designs are inspired by math theories that the artist reads and then translates into simple analytic characterizations of curves and surfaces. When the patterns are projected in three-dimension, they force the perception of the space towards a sequence that becomes progressive and rhythmic thanks to the scale repetition and variation of each of the parts conforming the structures.
