Spanish artist Xavier Monsalvatje creates portfolio "Forgotten Landscapes". The new limited edition prints edited by Contemporánea. Xavier Monsalvatje (1965, Spain) is a painter and sculptor. In his paintings we find factories, industrial archeology and new models cosmopolis. The human figure is not shown, and if it does so it is as worker or robot. In his sculptural work we also find cities and interesting containers used, first, to protect what will be extinguished in the future (genetic information, species, products of culture...), and second, to store trash and past mistakes. His work has been shown worldwide, including galleries and museums in Spain, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, France, Korea, China... Xavier signed the edition in her workshop-studio in Valencia before going to Copenhagen in a Residence for next two months. Xavier Monsalvatje's "Forgotten Landscapes" is the third edition edited by Contemporanea this year. Remember Pepa Prieto's "Alehoop!" and "Too Cool For School". All these editions are now available for everyone and also for the Members of Contemporanea.

El
artista español Xavier
Monsalvatje realiza el portfolio "Forgotten
Landscapes". La nueva edición limitada producida
por Contemporánea. Xavier Monsalvatje (1965, España)
es pintor y escultor. En su obra pictórica aparecen fábricas,
restos de arqueología industrial, y creaciones de nuevos
modelos de cosmópolis. La figura humana no aparece, y si
lo hace es a modo de autómata o ideal operario. En su trabajo
escultórico también hay ciudades. Pero la novedad
son los containers cerámicos, que sirven, por un lado,
para proteger lo que en el futuro se extinguirá (información
genética, especies animales, productos de cultura, como
incunables o films antiguos...), y, por otro, para guardar residuos
o desechos, errores generados a lo largo del tiempo. |
