Very beautiful, colorful sculpture by famous Spanish artist Juan Ripollés.
The statue is 42 cm high.
artist: JUAN RIPOLLÉS
title: EL RAZONADOR
Minor damage (can easily be repaired) to the arm of the statue.
The work of Ripollés (1932, Castellón, Spain) shows what he feels. He draws his inspiration from his imagination.
A characteristic of Ripollés' sculptures is that the front of the sculpture differs from the back.
Ripollés lives as a hermit close to nature. He paints outdoors, where he creates a world of love and tenderness, where sobriety and expressiveness are essential. He represses negative feelings such as hatred and jealousy.
The heads of his created beings usually seem to be their bodies as well. His colours are bright and by using contrasts, he creates a breathtaking atmosphere.
Ripollés is one of the most important contemporary Spanish artists and his art is included in important collections all over the world.
You can find his sculptures in Valencia, Castellón, Madrid, Seville, Venice, but also in Kerkrade and Ede.
Juan Ripollés was honored in Spain with a large book of his complete works and the honorable prize "merites de artes".
