Description of the work
The work Pina Bausch is by the artist Joan Artigas Planas. Made with bronze and iron. It measures 39 x 20 x 10 cm. Series 9/25. Espai Cavallers Gallery.
The artist Joan Artigas Planas was born in Vilassar de Dalt in 1960, (Barcelona).
He has a degree in Fine Arts (University of Barcelona). He is also a professor of sculpture at the Pau Gargallo School of Art and Design in Badalona.
WORK
The Vilassar sculptor Joan Artigas Planas has been for almost a decade one of the Catalan artists who has exhibited the most in galleries and art fairs all over Europe. He currently works regularly in art galleries in France, Germany, Denmark, Holland and Sweden.
The protagonist, without a doubt, of Artigasplanas' work is the woman, a timeless, lonely, mythological woman who rests precariously on inaccessible constructions or makes great efforts to overcome everyday walls.
The bronze woman, warm and sensual, dances on a rusted steel structure. A base that rises imposingly, creating a contradiction between both pieces. However, in the works of Artigasplanas the geometric base and the figure find a surprising harmony. The sculptor manages to make the little goddesses coexist with everyday life. Reflecting the efforts, the joys, the day-to-day dreams in its expression.
Although at first glance, Artigasplanas' work appears to be pleasant, easy to read and without pitfalls, his work is complex and above all, very personal.
Teaching and sculpture are the great passions of this artist.
