Exhibition in Paris 2013 Art gallery "GALRY" Ralf Jung, German sculptor based in Spain, presents in Paris a risky bet both in materials and subjet. Four face masks, whose expressions evoke the innermost and darksome thoughts of these nameless persons, spring from the same darkness and vulgarity of the material, cement, becoming a noble material, through the efforts of the artist, able to reflect the subtlety of human feeling. "After almost five years carving stone portraits with great detail I was doomed to a change of scenery or at least material. Clay allowed me to work, unlike the stone, very quickly, remembering a cartoonist doodling sketches. This gave me the opportunity to work almost without thinking, instinctively, without concern for the final look. The goal has been to capture the expression instantly. The result was "Project Head", a series of portraits shaped as masks and casted in cement colored with pigments and the varied textures are highlighting the individuality of the subjects. " | ||||
