Angelo Mottura

Angelo Mottura (b. 1966) works across ceramics, sculpture, and installation, pursuing a persistent inquiry into material transformation and suspended states. His practice treats matter not as fixed form but as a condition — something in the process of becoming, or of being undone.
Early works in painted ceramic and wood examine how surface and substance diverge: color as disruption, finish as argument. Later installation work introduces industrial materials — nylon, mechanical air — to stage conceptual propositions about inflation, potential, and the thin boundary between structure and collapse.
Mottura’s sensibility is precise and economical. He composes with restraint, allowing single gestures to carry disproportionate weight.
