Jaume Plensa works with large sculptures either inside the galleries or in the city. He is interested in the way the space is changed the moment that his installations are exhibited.
Lately, he made a 12-meter sculpture (Wonderland) in front of a building in Calgary. It has a dreamy like feeling especially if seen from a distance. Plensa works with the duality outside/inside, and the distance is very important in the way the audience relates to it.

The materials he uses are not only glass, aluminum, bronze, steel but he mixes them with sounds, video and light.
Starting from a common theme, the human body, the artist creates either weird shapes or he finds a way in which the body is situated in a position that creates a feeling of unease.

This artwork invites the viewer to become active, thus entering the sculpture, from where one will have a different way of seeing it. Seen from the inside, the face looks projected on the building around and on the sky, changing them.

Last year, he was present at Art Basel Miami:

Jaume Plensa, Art Miami Basel, 2012
In 2009 he exhibited in Prague. It is a famous sculpture and it is very easy to recognize it as one of his works, since it’s a human shape, made out of numbers. Plensa is always very careful with the way in which his sculptures adapt to natural conditions like wind, sun, rain. Therefore, the experience of seeing one of his sculptures at night or by day is not the same, and he surely thought about it all.
