Kal IX ZG1

Wall-mounted sculpture

480,00 €

This piece represents a futuristic evolution of Tomás Barceló's character "Calix," blending human features with intricate mechanical details.

The face is adorned with geometric patterns in shades of blue and white, evoking a technological aesthetic. Encased within a circular metallic frame, the composition suggests a fusion of organic life and machine, as if "Calix" has become a cyborg or an artifact from a distant, advanced civilization.

The meticulous detailing and metallic textures give the sculpture a sense of functionality and mystery, inviting the viewer to ponder its purpose and origin.

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

23 x 10 x 24 cm | 9 x 4 x 9,4 in

Unlimited Series with Variants

Design open to multiple reproductions, with slight variations in finishes for a customized option, with no limit to the number of copies.

Collection: Kal IX

The Kal IX collection brings together a series of sculptures that explore the multiple facets of this enigmatic character, Tomás Barceló's most iconic.

Calix is presented as a hybrid being between the human and the artificial, an entity that seems to belong both to a remote past and to a future yet to be discovered. His face, marked by mechanical patterns and structures, suggests a fragmented identity, at once mystical and technological.

Each version of Calix in this collection reinforces his elusive and enigmatic nature, making him a reflection of the mysteries that define Barceló's artistic universe.

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.
