ARTsPLACE Artist-run Centre will be hosting an exhibition by Quebec based artist, José Luis Torres, opening June 17th at 2pm. As an artist-in-residence, Jose Luis will be arriving in Annapolis Royal ahead of time to start working on his sculptural piece, using materials gathered from the community.

Torres’ work, which mostly touches sculpture, tends to frequently involve architecture. He often utilises construction and demolition scrap to create his pieces. The work moves between sculptural and architectural forms often featuring many sub-spaces, in which one can move about or interact with. He is interested in the way we occupy space, by modifying the area, by overhauling it. “With my work, I am looking to stimulate the relationship that is established between the installation location, the piece itself and the individual interacting with it.”

José Luis Torres was born in Argentina and has a Bachelor’s Degree in visual arts, a Master’s Degree in sculpture and training in architecture and integrating art with architecture. He has been living and working in Quebec since 2003. His work has been on display in more than thirty Canadian cities and almost a dozen different countries. His pieces can be found in public and private collections around the world.
