Marcel Martí is considered to be one of the great contemporary Catalan sculptors, representative of the renewal movement emerging in Barcelona in the post-Civil War years. A self-taught artist, he always showed an interest in sculptural monumentalism within an urban context. He created perfectly-finished compositions with sensual, simple, neat forms, which reflect an organicist language reminiscent of Gaudí’s modernism. They are works that arise from a combination of concave and convex elements, an austere substrate and refined lines in which the struggle between abstraction and figuration takes place.
Jordi Martoranno trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Universitat de Barcelona, and has worked on artistic residencies in several countries. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, his artwork reflected an interest in the relationships and connections that human beings have with nature and the cosmos. He is attentive to both ancient and contemporary thinkers, and his work is currently focused on semiotic anthropology in order to research, through painting, how and from where symbols are created, and their formal and conceptual evolution in our culture.
