Tony Cragg

Internationally renowned British sculptor Tony Cragg (1949) is presented here through a selection of his latest sculptures as well as an overview of his graphic works, showing his artistic path and creative process from the initial idea to the final object. Tony Cragg has set his relations between the natural and the artificial. In his work, there is a momentum swinging towards the invisible and the visible. Spirituality fails to be overlapped by the medium of idealistic support. The materials this creator uses could be a path against himself from the outset. Each one of them recycles, transforms, collides and produces changes to adapt to later on, just like the planet’s tectonic forces – in orders that coexist with its instability. The artist proclaims the function of the imagination beyond the mutilation of words, wishing to find a vocabulary for the emotions and effects that breaks ties with positivism and favours our way of grasping the universe.
