'MediteCráneo', Andres Planas Palou

The artist considers this his most complete exhibition and no wonder because MediteCráneo consists of more than one hundred pieces of small and medium format made in the last two years. In them Andres Planas (Palma, 1957) again approaches the collage technique, with which he started his career in 1989, later evolving into the field of abstraction and colorful expressionism.

The exhibition is divided into four parts. The first is a collection of collages in which, using as a base graphic material from newspapers and magazines, the artist silhouettes skulls that remind the viewer of the fragility of life.

The second series is Las tentaciones de Santa Águeda (The Temptation of St. Agatha) and is created from the objet trouvé, found objects that in this case consist of breast implants with which he achieves three-dimensional collages. In Sotanas (Cassocks) Andres Planas exposes his phantoms of the past, focused on the sixties and his experience in a Catholic school in Palma.

The last part consists of a video projection and some disturbing souvenirs formed by fetuses, made of leather or clay, inside formaldehyde jars.
