When you go through a museum like El Prado, you find the kind of Renaissance figures that they tend to have immaculate poses and closely related to the sacred and divine. There are many examples of different classical painters that can make us remember that way of being in a scene in which the liturgy of the scene is the central axis of the pictorial work.
Gerard Mas has given a twist to these Renaissance figures in sculptures that take us to the present or modern times. Like they are chewing gum or with a lollipop stuck in her mouth, these sculptures are capable of offering us a more human aspect of those figures that have always been associated with moments like the Renaissance.
And we can even see the bra marks when they have been in the sun or some tattoos that inspire something more current and relaxed. There is also the device in some of the mouths of these striking sculptures with a mischievous air that could remind any girl who is at recess.
It is the artist himself who has manifested the large number of poses in which he could have sculpted these sculptures. Nail daring poses that would have been impossible in the Renaissance era, but now you have all the freedom to put them as you please.
More has previously worked as an art restorer, so he has had a lot of experience working with carved stone. The idea came to him in a jiffy to get to work and get to reproduce these sculptures that seem taken from centuries ago.
