Currently, the work of Catalan sculptor Jaume Plensa<\/a> can be seen in numerous venues around the world, including the exhibition at La Pedrera<\/a> in Barcelona from March 31st through July 23rd, 2023. However, beyond this exhibition, Plensa<\/a>‘s work is diverse and complex, and deserves an in-depth review. In this article, we want to explore his work beyond his current exhibition in Barcelona, and highlight his time in our gallery over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From March 31st, at La Pedrera<\/a>, you will be able to discover the most intimate and unknown Plensa<\/a> in an exhibition that, for the first time, reveals the influence that literature, language and the alphabet have had on his work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition is a unique opportunity to delve into the most particular work of this internationally renowned sculptor. With a career spanning from the late twentieth century to the present, Jaume Plensa<\/a> has stood out for his work on the human figure, where he often fuses matter, words and music in a constant dialogue. This exhibition, curated by Javier Molins<\/a>, will show some of the artist’s most representative pieces, as well as his evolution over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Galeria SENDA<\/a>, having exhibited the sculptor’s work on more than one occasion, we are thrilled that the city of Barcelona receives it in such an honorable way. It makes us especially excited to remember his passage through the gallery, which never goes unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of 2016, Jaume Plensa<\/a> held his first exhibition at Galeria SENDA<\/a>: \u00abEl Bosc Blanc<\/a>\u00bb, after 7 years without exhibiting in Barcelona, his hometown. Plensa<\/a> presented a work that confronted what is shown with what is hidden, the past with the future, the natural construction with the creation by the hand of man, and the sound vibration with silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition consisted of various sculptures of young, female faces representing individuality within the social collectivity. The white pieces, “Lou<\/em>“, “Duna<\/em>” and “Isabella<\/em>“, seemed to float on the floor and were complemented by graphite drawings on the wall. Plensa<\/a> sought for the viewer to connect with the pieces and find their own path through the works placed in the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
