Works by Joël Urruty
Joël Urruty was born 1968 in San Francisco. He is a sculptor, who is working using different materials, in order to create abstract sculptures and wall assemblages. He graduated in Design from San Francisco State University. Then, he went on to earn an MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology, focusing more on woodworking. His artworks are made primarly through wood, often masked by paint to allow the form to take precedence over the material. Monochromatic colors, such as black or white, are often used by the artist, in order to allow light and shadow to play off the subtle shifting facets of the sculptures.
Joël Urruty's sculptures have been exhibited Internationally. He has worked in the permanent collection of the Asheville Art Museum, Boston Museum of Fine Art and Honolulu Museum of Art.
