Iren Tete: Phosphene

January 09 - February 13,2021

From Galleri Urbane: "Iren Tete presents a collection of recent ceramic sculptures for her introductory solo exhibition with Galleri Urbane. The artworks on view in Phosphene build upon established conceptual interests, such as the liminal space between stability and fragility, while also advancing a fascination with the potential found in spaces where logic leaves gaps. Tete invites viewers to reflect on these circumstances through a poetic implementation of color, form, surface and space. With many works ambitious in scale for the artist and incorporating a variety of materials including gold leaf, sand, and a constellation glaze, Phosphene is rich in alluring tactility. The sculptures beckon for an awareness of the senses and ultimately invite viewers to contemplate the magic that exists somewhere between reality, dream, and possibility. Iren Tete (b.1990) is an artist originally from Sofia, Bulgaria who is currently based in Gainesville, FL. She holds an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Lincoln, NE) and a BS in Kinesiology and Health Sciences from the College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, VA). Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, as well as published by Friend of the Artist and Create! Magazine. In 2020, she was selected as an Emerging Artist by Ceramics Monthly Magazine and as a finalist for the Hopper Prize. Tete will assume the role of Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Florida in 2021 and was recently a Visiting Faculty in Ceramics at the Alberta University of the Arts in Alberta, Canada. Her work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including shows in Nebraska, Texas, New York and Canada. She has recently exhibited with Galleri Urbane at the Dallas Art Fair and UNTITLED, Art Miami Beach."
