Jaume Plensa

Jaume Plensa is one of the major figures of contemporary sculpture, best known for his large-scale human figures in stainless steel. This monography presents the artist from another angle, showing his graphic works. The book offers an intimate insight into Plensa’s universe. Characterised by a greater freedom, as they are not made to order and do not require assistants’ help, the drawings are a form of reflexion and experimentation for Plensa. He works with various materials, such as plastic sheets, or thick glue on paper or Plexiglas, which allows him to play with light and transparency and gives his works an impression of volume. As in the case of the sculptures, the artist focuses on the human, representing a variety of figures, which he assembles with elements such as photos, letters from different alphabets or numbers. This monography brings to light the diversity of Plensa’s creation and the richness of his artistic language. Far from being reduced to preparatory works, Plensa’s drawings, often of very large dimensions, function as artworks in their own right, showing the diversity of Plensa’s ideas.
