{"title":"Jovany Cuarenta","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarpenter by trade. Artist by necessity.\u003cbr\u003eJovany Cuarenta's practice does not begin on the canvas, but in abandonment. Based in Zapopan, Jalisco, the artist rescues discarded wood to transform it into pieces that challenge the boundary between sculpture, object, and language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis work does not seek to represent reality, but to reveal the latent memory in the wood. Through intuitive assemblages and precise cuts, Cuarenta builds living systems where breakage and imperfection are not accidents, but the very structure of meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn series like Beings and Stories, wood ceases to be an inert material to become a voice: a vibrant tension between what was found and what has been built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfluenced by the rawness of art brut and the energy of contemporary gesture, his work proposes a new interpretation of the object: not as a function, but as an experience of interruption. CUARENTA's pieces do not decorate space; they intervene it, dialogue with it, and remain as inescapable presences. He rescues in wood what also inhabits us.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"historia-vii-prueba-de-cnc","title":"HISTORY VII - CNC Test","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSculptural assembly with reclaimed wood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e44 x 36 CM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece belongs to the \"Stories\" series, an exercise in introspection where wood ceases to be material and becomes language.
