  SUSANA SOLANO (Barcelona, 1946). "Paisatge d'Interior", 1984. Bronze. Reference number in the artist's file: FV-3695-D. Work reproduced in the catalog of the artist: page 19-Volume "Sculpture". Signed. Size: 6 x 31 x 34 cm. Round sculpture made in bronze that represents a form of abstract character in which predominates an organic component to recall their own forms to elements of nature. However, it is far from any rhetorical conception, it is even the opposite, since it responds to a need to express itself with few means, thus seeking and exploring the essence of sculpture. It is a three-dimensional piece that founds a space and transforms it, giving it a new aesthetic content. It is a work that has a great conceptual charge, which can be observed not only through the object itself, but also through its title, therefore it is a sculpture of ambiguous character because the author has used an aesthetic where the form and the exercise of the same predominate over the detail, although it is worth noting the use of bronze and cast. However, the author has managed to capture through the treatment of the material a piece that despite its abstract and synthetic language is presented to the viewer through a double game, the strangeness of being a non-recognizable form, and the natural and organic, recalling its aesthetics to primitive forms related to nature. It is made with iron plates in which there are signs of oxidation that the sculptor assumes as part of the personality of the work. The sheets overlap and their curved, irregular and granulated cuts connect with the craftsmanship and handling of iron, since she does not try to polish the surface but to show the qualities offered by the material. Sculptor and graphic artist, Susana Solano is currently the Spanish sculptor who has achieved the greatest international recognition. Her work evolves from a language clearly influenced by Brancusi towards the use of materials such as iron and lead worked in an artisanal way, with increasingly volumetric and monumental works. He has taken part in Documenta in Kassel and the Venice and São Paulo Biennials, and has exhibited at the Helga de Alvear Gallery in Madrid, among many other art galleries in Europe and the United States. In 1988 she was awarded the National Sculpture Prize. She is currently represented at the MoMA in New York, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the ARTIUM in Vitoria, the Marugame Hirai Museum in Japan, the IVAM in Valencia, the Guggenheim in Bilbao, the Centre National des Arts Plastiques in Paris and the MACBA in Barcelona, among others.
