Tomás Barceló

Naer KAL-IX N

Wall-mounted sculpture

530,00 €

This sculpture depicts a robotic face framed by a mechanical halo, reinforcing its iconic presence. The ornamental patterns in turquoise and coral tones give it an almost ceremonial delicacy, as if it were a forgotten deity or a sacred figure from a future cult. Its expression is serene, yet deeply present.

Sculpture carved in plaster, based on a cast from a fine grog refractory clay model, and reproduced in resin. Painted with shellac, chalk paint, acrylics, and varnish.

23 x 13 x 25 cm | 9 x 5 x 10 in

Original with Variants

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.

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.
