Joan Mora: Sculptures
Exhibition of sculptures from Joan Mora’s Sombreros (Hats) series
An exhibition of the Hats series by the sculptor Joan Mora opened at the Fundació Joan Miró’s Espai 10 on 5 October.
The exhibition includes eleven never-before-seen pieces from his monographic Hats series, as well as seven retrospective pieces from other series, such as Accidentes (Accidents), Recuerdos (Memories) and Paquetes (Packages), with which the artist has managed to provide a new artistic dimension to insignificant everyday objects.
His Hats series depicts the artist’s struggle with unruly material until achieving his goal: to portray the familiar by giving stone an almost unfamiliar quality through its shape.
Experience for Joan Mora is leading to a conscious rethinking of his choices. His work currently has an object-like power of attraction that we would be hard pressed to find in a painting with similar characteristics.
Last year, Joan Mora was invited to exhibit at the 4th International Biennial of Small Sculpture in Hungary.
The exhibition will run until 21 October.
