Javier Marín

by Javier Marín

Marin's (b. Mexico 1962) exhibition of fragmented bronze, resin and clay (plastilin) nude bodies sculptures that capture amazing postures and gestures, a reflection of his skillful representation of the human anatomy. Although inspired in the classic period and the Renaissance, the artist innovates his work experimenting with photography and various organic elements like: wax, seeds, wood and dirt to create figures that become metaphors and distorted images of the world's pain and injuries.
