About the Item

Barcarola is bronze sculpture wall and table sculpture, it is connected to a steel base. The edition size is 8. Joan’s latest sculpture series of female figures brings an out-of-the-box approach to sculpture creation. The small vivid women figures linked or bonded to their pedestals; the figures are delicate and intriguing representation of a woman’s mind and soul yearning for liberty, freedom, a moment of tranquility from busy daily life, or a space that she could spend the time totally with herself and for escaping from the routine and monotony. The woman made of bronze is warm and sensual and dances in/on a structure of rusted iron. She observes the world from her/ours solitude, from this vertiginous watchtower (metaphor of life, universe) rusted because the inexorable time. The base rises impressively, creating a contradiction between both pieces. However, in Joan’s work the geometrical base and the figure find a surprising harmony. BIOGRAPHY OF JOAN ARTIGAS PLANAS Joan Artigas Planas was born in 1960 in Vilassar de Dalt in Spain. Inspired by an amateur painter father, he continued his passion for fine art and graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Academy of Arts of Barcelona in 1985. While pursuing his artist career in the creation of sculptures, Joan is also lecturer at the School of Arts in Badalona (Barcelona) teaching Sculpting since 1988. Joan’s sculptures of female figures not only show how he masters the skills and techniques for sculpting but also reflect that he is extremely capable of expressing the femininity and sensuality of women, all these soft intangible elements by means of the a hard medium: bronze! His female characters slide, dream, gaze, listen, rest or ponder but never fall from their pedestals. The “woman” is reproduced to infinity because, for the artist, she represents the infinite. Joan pays homage to woman by creating numerous versions of her, his muse in the most sensuous form. At present Joan lives and works in Barcelona. His sculptures are exhibited in various shows and art fairs in Spain, Denmark, Sweden, France, Belgium, Singapore, Germany, Austria and Netherlands.
