Detailed description

Sculpture "Trust - Partnership Trick", bronze

"His concept is quality" - this is what Andrés-Gayón once said about his work. Each of the artist's works underwent a series of drafts until it finally reached its final design - this time it was a cast bronze. Nevertheless, his sculpture "Trust - Partnership Trick" is not really "realistic". Already the physical impossibility of "balancing" the two figures clears that up. But depicting the reality was never Andrés-Gayóns goal. He was more interested in the pictorial realisation of an essential human feeling that eludes rational "calculability": It is trust that makes the impossible possible.

"Partnership Trick" expresses visually what can hardly be described in words. And it is a wonderful gift for someone you trust - whether in the sense of a friendship, a love affair or a marriage of many years.

Bronze multiple on a pedestal of shell limestone, height incl. pedestal 55 cm. Weight approx. 6,5 kg. The sculpture is limited to 299 copies (+ 3 E.A. copies). Exclusively for ars mundi.

About Antonio de Andrés-Gayón

1961-2012

In times when art often engages provocatively with art-foreign "concepts," Antonio de Andrés-Gayón considered himself a sculptor with respect for art history. Whether it was a drawn nude or a sculpture, questions about human expressiveness and its artistic feasibility were foremost in his mind. "My concept", Andrés-Gayón said with a wink, "is quality". And so, each of the artist's works underwent a series of drafts until it finally solidified into form and was realised.
