Jaume Plensa — Nouvelles estampes — Lelong & Co Gallery — Exhibition — Slash Paris

Past: January 24 → March 9, 2019

For more than 30 years, Jaume Plensa has accompanied his work as a sculptor with a substantial body of etchings, which have already been the focus of a number of retrospectives. 2018 has been an important year for the artist with a major installation in Madrid (Palacio de Cristal) and a show in Barcelona (MACBA), as well as the completion of a number of important works (les Trois alchimistes, Fondation Carmignac, Porquerolles ; Pacific Soul, San Diego…); it has also been a very productive year in terms of his etchings. The artist has produced Symétrie, a large etching with sinuous and enveloping movement and two series: the six Alchimistes, engraved onto rounded copper and presenting the silhouettes of famous writers inserted in a sort of alphabetical bubble, and the seven digital prints of Lumière Invisible, with their very deep black backgrounds from whence emerge brilliant heads of young girls with their eyes closed.

Exhibition shown at the bookshop of the gallery Lelong & CO.,
