From skinny rods of metal, Barcelona-based artist David Moreno (beforehand) constructs towering homes and cascading villages that replicate the structure of our lives. He typically incorporates anthropomorphic, anatomical components, suggesting skeletons or beating hearts.
For instance, “Construcción en cabeza—Cabeza en construcción,” which interprets to “head construction—head under construction,” a hillside-like basis takes the type of a face. And “Resumen 2020,” which means “Summary 2020,” is a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, assuming the silhouette of a human cranium.
Moreno’s sculptures alternate between rigidity and fluidity as he manipulates the thick wire into stable partitions or curving arcs, corresponding to in “La vie en rose.” Balanced fastidiously on columns of scaffolding, gabled constructions cling considerably precariously to their helps, referencing the sprawling, stacked hillside favelas like these in Rio de Janeiro.
The artist is at the moment conceptualizing a brand new three-meter-wide set up for an structure agency in Miami, and he has been cutting down his bigger sculptures into gold and silver pendant designs. Try extra of Moreno’s work on Behance, and comply with updates on Instagram.
