Ensamble es una exploración de las posibilidades de la forma y
la materia. A partir de la estela abierta por el arte fractal, Tosko
propone una serie de piezas que, más que una serie,
podríamos llamar una multiplicidad en devenir. Dicho de otro
modo, las esculturas que conforman Ensamble no tienen una
única manera de ser vistas ni acomodadas, pueden hacerse
diferentes combinaciones, módulos, mini torres, torres o tótems
con distintos materiales, tamaños, colores y acabados. Las
formas potenciales de estas esculturas son, como las figuras
fractales, infinitas.
Graphic Designer and Artist. Bachelor’s degree in Graphic
Design from Universidad Nuevo Mundo and Master’s degree in
Strategic Design and Innovation from Universidad
Iberoamericana. From his earliest works as a sculptor—nearly
thirty years ago—and throughout his career, Tosko has nurtured
an artistic curiosity and vocation that have led him to also
explore acrylic and oil painting, as well as photography, thus
enriching his design work and vice versa. Although his sources
of inspiration are varied, they almost invariably point to a
pronounced geometric character in his solutions, playing with
the exploration of boundaries, perception, and the concept of
the (in)finite.
In terms of his artistic side, Tosko has kept his production and
exhibition of pieces within the private sphere, with a few
exceptions including exhibitions at Galería Mizrahi in Polanco,
and the 303 Art Gallery in Valle de Bravo. Likewise, his work
has been published by various media and platforms, with the
most recent being The Core magazine of Design, Architecture,
and Interior Design.
The sculptures shown in this catalog are part of Ensemble, a
series started by Tosko in 2005 that reflects a pinnacle of
maturation and evolution in his work. The pieces are based on
experimentation with forms, sizes, materials, colors, and the use
of contemporary technologies that reflect a multiplicity of
sensory possibilities.
Ensemble is an exploration of the possibilities of form and
matter. Following the trail opened by fractal art, Tosko proposes
a series of pieces that, rather than a series, could be called a
multiplicity in becoming. In other words, the sculptures that
make up Ensemble are not meant to be viewed or arranged in a
single way. Different combinations, modules, mini towers,
towers, or totems can be created with various materials, sizes,
colors, and finishes. The potential forms of these sculptures are,
like fractal figures, infinite.
