Magnificent Sculpture by Joan Ripollés. Limited and Numbered Series: 24/33

Fantastic sculpture by Joan Ripollés in resin, signed by the artist and in excellent condition, part of a limited and numbered series 24/33. This work of art stands out for its size (54 cm tall) and its magnificent colour scheme, which combines a varied palette of vivid and brilliant hues: blue, turquoise, light green, orange, pink, violet, red, white, black, and yellow. Despite its intensity, the colour palette creates a harmonious and appealing effect, exuding all the joy characteristic of the artists sculptures. The work depicts a female figure in a striking flared dress. The figures head is bald and is topped by a paella pan. As is typical of Ripolléss sculptures, this figure offers two perspectives: from the front, the figure displays a cheerful and alert expression; from behind, the face shows surprise. The paella pan crowning the figure also has two sides, both simple, expressive, and cheerful. On one of the figures feet, we can see the artists signature in black. The work displays an evident modernity and a clear Cubist inspiration, making it an exclusive piece for any setting.

This resin sculpture by Joan Ripollés will stand out in even the most avant-garde living room or studio.

Dimensions: Width: 42 cm. Height: 54 cm.

Juan García Ripollés Biography

Juan García Ripollés, also known as Ripo or Beato Ripo, is a Spanish artist born in Alzira (Valencia) in 1932. Ripolléss work spans painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Ripollés had a difficult childhood and had to work as a scrap dealer and industrial painter, but his passion for painting led him to attend night classes between the ages of 12 and 20 at the School of Arts and Crafts in Castellón, the city where he spent his childhood and adolescence. In 1954, he emigrated to Paris, and once there, he strove to achieve his greatest desire: to become a painter. Four years after his arrival, he opened an exhibition at the famous Drouand David art gallery, where artists of the stature of Picasso and Chagall had previously exhibited. In the 1960s, he returned to Spain, and over the following years, the artist lived and worked in various places: Seville, Córdoba, Chipiona, and Cercedilla (Madrid). For a time, he moved to the Netherlands, and in 2010, he returned to Castellón de la Plana, where he has maintained his residence and studio ever since. Juan García Ripollés has been awarded the Alzira Gold Medal and the Valencia Arts Prize. His works are found all over the world, appearing in galleries, private collections, museums, and urban spaces.
