Jaume Plensa returns to Galeria Senda with Murmuri , a new exhibition where he will create a dialogue between work and whispering in the ear, where diverse materials will take full power from a well-known iconography of the universal artist. Plensa's simplicity transports us to beauty, from letters to universal signs, and from iconic busts to communication and reflection.
The exhibition is a constant testimony of the work with traditional materials, a same vocabulary that defines its sculptural essence, speaking of interior and exterior elements, but which has always characterized the work of Jaume Plensa by defining space and volume of sculpture. He has constantly insisted from this starting point and considering oneself modern or ancient is not finding the new technological matter, but all the stories that you can tell with the matter, but also with words.
Murmuri plays with this ability to shape artistic creativity accompanied by the creation of different formats and from the first moment you enter the Senda Gallery it will be to create a game of looks with alabaster, iron, Murano glass, paper or bronze. A characteristic path of Plensa with images and sculptures of letters, communication and reflection.
SILENT HORTENSIA , Jaume Plensa (2024)
No less important is the title of this new exhibition by one of the most global artists, since the starting point is the link between the meaning and musicality of the word murmur and from here we move to silence, an identity and idiosyncrasy of the artist's work. It is the beginning and end of an introspection of the noise of contemporary society. From the version of Flora to Silent Hortensia , from the noise of the street to the stillness and from there to the silence and the state of mind.
Flora is the beginning of this particular murmur by Jaume Plensa and creates a dialogue with the element of materiality, memory, figurative representation, the subtlety of beauty and depth in simplicity. This new journey creates a connection with the 2024 Venice exhibition, specifically in the small chiesa of Sant Gallo and the silence of Janus . At the Senda Gallery, Trafalgar Street, 32, it announces from the silence, from the calm, an antithesis of the street noise. The intuition and insight of the dialogue of the invisible with works in alabaster such as Flora and Lucia or the study of painted iron with The House of light and love.
It is a more intimate, more poetic Jaume Plensa and the gallery acts as a refuge to reunite us with this initiatory point of the material. Intimacy and meaning with the material and its inner light. But it also has space for drawings and collages with texts by William Carlos William or Charles Baudelaire with 'The Flowers of Evil'. An idea that arises from a form, a color and a material, but later glimpses and creates a dialogue with the material to transport it to memory and create an agreement so that the whole can work.
