MIGUEL BRANCO

SHOW COMPLETE COLLECTION

Miguel Branco’s (1963) sculptures evoke an enigmatic universe, both in their form and meaning. Characterised by their small dimensions, the works force the beholder to look closely and enter into dialogue. Their ambiguous presence, which develops no narrative, amuse and disquiet at the same time. His sculptures, which are formed with Fimo modelling clay around a wire and wooden core, also use fragments of the collective memory. Surrealism, symbolism, pop, nature and art history cross each other, and, with their unaccustomed colouring, they form naturalistic and worrying impressions.
