Sculpture of Arturo Berned

We present the first exhibition in our gallery Arturo Berned (Madrid, 1966), sculptor of reference in the area of geometric art, creator of works suggestive, expressive, physically strong and materially delicate and exquisite. Their formal proposals -contained a few times, overwhelmed other-coupled with the light and shadows that create the works on your relationship with the space, aspire to transcend the look and the perception of the viewer to connect with the ideas, sensations and feelings associated to concepts related to the universe, the human being and the History and the language of art.

Alfonso de la Torre, curator and theoretician of art, and author of the introductory text of the catalogue that the gallery has published on the occasion of the exhibition, points out that "the creation of Berned is a journey of forms, but it is also towards the knowledge through the questions, becoming his sculptural work to another write to decipher, a device mean, just now the birth and the conclusion of the arts in this Octavio Paz called an area invisible".
