Luis Apolinario Bermudez (July 12, 1953 – October 10, 2021) was an American sculptor of Mexican descent whose most notable works are made of castable refractory.
Biography
Early life
Luis Apolinario Bermudez was born in Los Angeles on July 12, 1953 to Apolinario Bermudez and Luz Maria Flores. He spent many summers at El Piño, his grandparents ranch outside Guadalajara, in Jalisco, Mexico, where he gained an appreciation for living off the land and learned about his Mexican heritage.[1]
Education
After graduating from Notre Dame High School, Bermudez received his Bachelor of Arts in 1976 and his Master of Arts in 1978 from California State University, Northridge. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1980.
Art Work
Studio Practice
Bermudez worked with metal, wood, ceramics, and occasionally included found objects in his sculptures. He is best known for his experimental mold making techniques and sculptures made from castable refractory. His work has been described as having a "generic pre-Columbian presence"[2] and often references architecture, ancient cultures and the natural world.[3][4] Bermudez worked out of his West Adams, Los Angeles studio from 1980 until his passing in 2021.
In regards to his studio practice, Bermudez wrote:
“I come to my work, impelled to give tangible presence to the episodes in my life of peculiar intensity - the ones that announce their transcendence, and touch the common core of human experience. Through this special alchemy of the furnace that not only tempers my materials physically but burns in a kind of honesty as well, my enthusiasm becomes half of a special relationship with the observer. The results are not always decorative: the casual onlooker is posed a persistent invitation to become involved in a process–an energetic union of opposites where my past merges with the observer's present to create something greater than either of us alone.”[5]
