Curatorial context

The exhibition "Miquel Barceló. Ceramics (1995-1998)" marks the first solo exhibition by the artist in his native Majorca since 1982 and the first monographic exhibition dedicated to his ceramic work. It features 51 pieces created between 1995 and 1998, stemming from a cycle that began in Mali and continued in Mallorca. Barceló, an artist deeply connected to the Mediterranean tradition and celebrated globally for his paintings, sculptures, and drawings, turns to clay to explore forms such as animal heads, totem poles, and vessels reminiscent of underwater archaeological finds. His intense engagement with reality is reflected in his work, influenced by both art historical figures and natural elements like light, dust, and the sea, demonstrating a continuous exploration of organic processes, temporality, and transformation.
