José Perozo, LarA 004, 2024, Cement Sculpture

"LarA 004" is an original sculpture from the LarA series by Spanish artist José Perozo, completed in 2024. Measuring 21 x 29 x 17 cm, this artwork merges the female figure with architectural forms, presenting the body as both a home and a lasting physical structure. The piece is carefully hand-tinted in a deep bluish-gray hue and coated with a semi-matte varnish, which brings out the unique details of its texture and craftsmanship. Made from high-durability cement, the sculpture showcases natural characteristics of the material, such as subtle bubbles, tonal shifts, and minor surface imperfections, highlighting its artisanal production process. Its composition includes fine aggregates for precise modeling, acrylic fibers to reduce cracking, and a water-reducing agent for improved consistency during creation. The sculpture is packaged securely in a custom-designed box (27 x 35 x 23 cm, 6 kg) to ensure its safe shipment and arrival at its destination.
