Josep Bofill (1989) - Origen

"Origin" Sculpture by Josep Bofill (1989) – Limited Edition and Signed Exceptional original sculpture by the prestigious Spanish artist Josep Bofill Moliné (Barcelona, 1942), titled "Origin" and dated 1989. It is one of the artist's most representative creations from the late eighties. In this piece, Bofill presents a masterful dialogue between geometric rigidity and the organicity of the human body. A female figure emerges poetically with an architectural structure. The contrast between the straight lines that mimic a column or classical ruin and the smooth curves of the anatomy creates a unique compositional tension. Exclusive Edition: The piece belongs to a limited series, exactly corresponding to the specimen No. 176 / 999. It is a short run compared to other editions by the artist. Authenticity Guaranteed: It bears the artist's engraved signature and the corresponding numbering integrated directly into the work, fully guaranteeing its cataloging. Richness of Materials and Textures: Made through a careful combination of materials. The figure stands out for its treatment of metal with bronze finishes and nuances. The whole ensemble sits on a solid and imposing texturized architectural structure, resting stably on its original wooden plinth.
