• Lot Description
  "dEmo" ELADIO DE MORA (1960, Toledo). "Erotic mannequin", 2006. Resins, fiberglass and antique prints, unique piece. Attached certificate of the author. Signed and dated. Measures: 120 x 28 x 15 cm; 33 x 33 x 4 cm (base). The artist known as dEmo is considered one of the leading figures of Spanish contemporary art, with works often seemingly funny that hide a serious message, as they capture their fears, obsessions and desires, which often uses his favorite material (plastic), and are intended to be located outdoors in most cases, making your message to a large number of people. His artistic vocation was already clear when he was very young, and his training has been self-taught; his career has been recognized, for example, with the "Getafe City of the Arts" Award in 2005 and the "Aura" Award in 2007 in Toledo. A multidisciplinary artist, he has focused his work on sculpture conceived to be in public spaces. He manages to turn everyday elements, common utensils and toys from the collective memory of those same spectators into well-known icons, and this "iconization of the domestic" is one of his main signs of identity. With his brightly colored bears, ducks, divers, flowers, etc., he poses a game that avoids grandiloquent speeches and invites reflection through a friendly approach, a smile, behind which hides a denunciation (society's haste, a call for the need of environmental awareness...). His series of figures (called by himself "tribes") are common, with which he multiplies the strength of the message, which is also helped by the usual unexpected placement of the work. His work has been exhibited in Miami, New York, Madrid, Paris, Burgos, Barcelona, London, Austria, Cuenca, Sigüenza, Munich (Germany), Yucatán (Mexico), Cuba, Gijón, Málaga, Seville, Valladolid, Oporto, Milan, etc. Numerous private collections have some of these sculptures, but he is also a regular outside (and their funds) of institutions such as the IVAM of Valencia, The Museum Arterra Contemporary of Austria, the Museum of Fine Arts of Havana in Cuba, the Macay Museum of Contemporary Art of Yucatan in Mexico, etc..
