Born in 1955 in the Catalan capital, Jaume Plensa now designs monumental sculptures from his Barcelona studio for the world. Installed in urban centers or natural spaces in Europe, the United States, and Asia, these creations are remarkable for their integration into public spaces. Three emblematic works are installed in France. Conversation in Nice (2007) consists of seven luminous resin figures, seated like ancient scribes atop poles scattered throughout Place Masséna. In Antibes, Nomade (2010), a monumental head made of a mesh of steel letters, which the visitor can enter, dominates the Bastion Saint-Jaume. In Bordeaux, Sanna (2013), a seven-meter-high female face with closed eyes, made of cast iron, is integrated into Place de la Comédie. The Museum of Modern Art in Céret is offering a more intimate version of the artist's latest works: female faces in basalt or bronze whose closed eyes invite us to look inward, silhouettes formed by a metallic mesh of letters and signs from alphabets around the world, evocative of the multiplicity of possibilities offered by language. A silent conversation begins between luminous resin figures in a space conducive to dreaming and meditation.
