"Leo Orta's practice bridges art, design, and environmental consciousness, combining sculpture, painting, and installation to explore material cycles, human bonds, and ecological narratives in the contemporary world."
Leo Orta (b. 1993, Paris) is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, installation, painting, and performance. A graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, his practice explores the interplay between human connections, material cycles, and environmental concerns. Drawing inspiration from psychoanalysis, surrealism, and recycled materials, Orta critiques industrial processes and advocates for sustainability. His works have been exhibited internationally, including at FRAC, K11 Guangzhou, and Frieze London.
