Artist

Marcel Martí

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.
