About the Item

Untitled 1 Etching original painting number 12 of an edition of 15 engravings. Jaume Plensa Suñé (Barcelona, 1955) is a Spanish plastic artist, sculptor and engraver. Very versatile artist who has also experimented with drawing, opera sets, video projections or acoustic installations.1 He is known for his large sculptures made up of letters and numbers.2 Born in Barcelona in 1955, he studied at the Llotja School and the Sant Jordi Superior School of Fine Arts. Trajectory In a first stage, his work reflects an interest in issues related to volume, space and tension. In 1983-1984 he began to mold iron with the casting technique and developed a sculptural concept of zoomorphic forms using cuts and folds. In 1986 he started working with cast iron, and later he used glass, resin, lights and sounds. Since 1996 he has also been dedicated to creating elements and sets for opera and theater productions, mainly in collaboration with the company La Fura dels Baus. He also stands out as a draftsman and engraver. In 2008 he made the sculpture called "Alma del Ebro" in Zaragoza (Aragon) on the occasion of the International Water Exhibition held there. This sculpture is 11 meters high and is located in front of the Palacio de Congresos, on the banks of the Ebro river. The letters represent cells of the human body, which is made up of more than 60% water. Its white letters and hollow structure invite the viewer to look inside and reflect on the relationship between human beings and water. In December 2012, he was elected the winner of the 2013 National Prize for Graphic Art awarded by the National Calcography and which recognizes the artist's career in the field of graphic art.3 In 2012 he produced the poster for the Festival de la Mercè in Barcelona. Honors The main distinctions obtained by the artist have been the following: • 1993: Medaille des Chevaliers des Arts et Letres, Ministry of Culture, France. • 1996: Prize of the Fondation Atelier Calder, Saché, France. • 1997: National Prize for Plastic Arts, Government of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain. • 2002: Invested Doctor Honoris Causa by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. • 2012: National Prize of Plastic Arts of 2012.6 • 2012: National Prize for Graphic Art 2013. • 2013 Velázquez Prize for Plastic Arts, (equivalent in painting to the Cervantes Prize) .2 The jury of this prize valued the coherence of a trajectory in which the plastic language of sculpture has been renewed in depth, integrating poetry and conceptualization with proposals from great aesthetic intensity.7 • 2015: City of Barcelona Award for the international projection of the city of Barcelona 2015. • 2018: Invested Doctor Honoris Causa by the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
