Javier Bacigalupo

Javier Bacigalupo has developed a series of unconventional tools and techniques. Trituring, cutting, freezing, exploding, eroding, engulfing... He has become a passionate experimenter in the structural modifications of clay, notably during drying and firing, by adding different materials to the paste, or through external mechanical interventions. This rigorous observation and analysis of the material's behavior has given rise to a surprising freedom and strangeness.

Born in 1987. Chilean-Italian. Lives and works in Paris.
