Tomás Barceló

Betseda IX

Wall-mounted sculpture

440,00 €

A circular relief in which a mosaic-like face emerges surrounded by an ornamental structure of intense polychromy. The fragmented surface of the face, built from small geometric forms, contrasts with the broad blue and turquoise patterns running across the outer ring. The combination of texture, color, and assembly creates an image of striking visual richness, halfway between a ceremonial icon and a technological mask.

Sculpture modeled in clay, carved plaster, and repurposed objects; reproduced in resin. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics, and varnish.

23 x 23 x 7 cm | 10 x 10 x 3 in

Up to 8 numbered copies. Each copy is a unique reinterpretation of the original design, with completely different finishings, making each one exclusive within the series.

The World of Kal is an ongoing narrative universe that explores the awakening of robots after the disappearance of humanity during the so-called Days of Chaos.

Deprived of their original directives, these beings begin to reconstruct their identity, purpose, and relationship with the world, giving rise to a new form of consciousness between the mechanical and the symbolic.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Tomás Barceló

Tomás Barceló, a Mallorcan sculptor and disciple of the master J.S. Jassans at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona, blends his passion for archaic sculpture with assemblage and polychromy.

Throughout his life, his boundless curiosity has led him to roles as a teacher, lifeguard, mariachi, bagpiper, film sculptor, and gallery artist, among others. His work is the culmination of his love for form and color, inspired by ancient art in his youth, fantasy and science fiction in his teenage years, and building toys from his childhood.

With each piece, Barceló seeks to restore sculpture to its place as a popular art, accessible and present in every home once again.
