The sculptures by MIQUEL APARICI are surprising assemblages made from ancient objects with past lives, which the artist recovers and uses ingeniously. The result is an original collection of unusual animals, creatures of different shapes and sizes, from a life-size elephant to tiny insects. Using the same technique, we also find among his sculptures musical instruments, rockets, masks and a collection of ‘secret books’.
His sculptures test the viewer's imagination, because they show familiar objects in a different context than usual, and performing a different function, which gives them a new identity. In this way, by appealing to wit and a sense of humour, the artist wins the audience's complicity and invites them to participate in his own game, which consists of recreating reality and transforming it into... art.
