Manuel Solà (1950) - Cap nº 5

Manuel Solà, Barcelona, 1950 Work Cap No. 5, sculpture in wood, iron and alabaster, Year 2008, Dimensions 34 x 17 x 13 cm Artist represented by the Espai Art60 gallery in Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Girona, Spain Comes with a certificate of authenticity Condition of the piece: Good The piece is delivered in a wooden box and insured against loss or damage About the artist: Manuel Solà (Barcelona, 1950) trained at the Escola Llotja in Barcelona. His artistic evolution has led him from painting to sculpture. His pieces are not molded, but built from found objects that he hardly ever alters. Rusted irons, rings, hinges, or remnants of field tools coexist with stones from different origins: stones from the Sahara hamada, volcanic stones from the island of Gran Canaria, and river pebbles. Solà combines them little by little, without a prior scheme, until the form appears. Thus arise figures with an archaic air, influenced by ancient Greek sculpture, that speak of memory, migration and a return to origins. He is currently represented by the Espai Art60 gallery in Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Girona, Spain.
