About the Item

Passadís Here some fragments for one of his latest exhibition catalogue “I think that a work of art should puzzle viewers, make them reflect on the meaning of life” Antoni Tàpies Moisés Gil’s sculptures can be described as philosophical and conceptual, as they encourage individuals to reflect and act in a never-ending existential struggle, in the face of the multiple situations by which they are affected in contemporary societies. Art is always a form of communication: communication with and between the materials employed by the artist, giving rise to an aesthetic visual balance able to convey feelings, emotions and ideas, all of which are essential to a nonconformist commitment and worldview. Moisés Gil puts his representations of individuals in sculptural structures to better indicate the place of humans in the world, the place of contemporary individuals in their different environments, sometimes hostile; they are naked men with tense muscles, absorbed in thought, analysing their environment and trying to decide what to do with their lives. The artist accurately represents the act of thinking, which necessarily involves the whole body: like Rodin’s 1903 The Thinker, regarded as a perfect depiction of the philosophical attitude, Gil’s sculptures have tense bodies and a calm mind. But the artist goes one step further, using and reinterpreting actual architectural works as clear and memorable metaphors for the context in which we live.
