Jorge Marín (Mexico, 1963). With over 25 years of artistic work, he has become one of Mexico’s most important contemporary figurative artists.The sculptures of Jorge Marín reflect in bronze the intrinsic strength and force that emanates from its creation and permits him to construct dynamic bodies, full of movement, which challenge gravity and rotate in a space supported on one point.
His work represents the struggle between the coldness of bronze and the diverse emotions that his subject’s evocate: the perfection of the equilibrists and his winged figures has become his particular seal.
Another notable trait in his work is the mask, an attempt to depersonalize his sculptures and thus become another medium of expression of a body that contains universal symbols in itself.
Jorge Marin has participated in over 200 exhibitions in Mexico and around the world, including the United States, United Kingdom, Latin American and Europe. He currently exhibits “Wings of a City”, in Mexico City, which opened in 2010, and his exhibition, “The Body as a Landscape”, has been shown in museums throughout Europe since 2011, including Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Istanbul, Berlin, Budapest, Timisoara, St. Petersburg and in February 2013 Brussels, Belgium.
Exhibition will be seen utill January, 23rd.
