Alastair Smart described these sculptures as eerie, timeless and evocative. These works, it seems, could date back centuries, even millennia. They command those old-fashioned artistic virtues: awe, solemnity, and respect.
About the artist
Xavier MascarĂ³ His works transport us to distant realities through a primordial and universal aesthetic. Fascinated by the iconography of ancient culture, MascarĂ² uses archaic figures to express the contradictions within the human soul. In his work, there is the echo of Pre-Columbian art history. Characterized by an encounter between material, form, and the psychology of the artist, his art uses heads, masks, boats, human and animal figures as symbolic representations.
