Biography
Jaume Plensa (Barcelona, 1955) is a Spanish sculptor who works with the human figure, language and typography to speak of silence, contemplation, identity and communication.
He trained at the San Jorge School of Fine Arts. He works in iron, steel, resin and glass, and with letters cast in steel and bronze that become body and landscape.
He is the creator of Crown Fountain in Chicago and Dream in St Helens (UK), and has exhibited in museums across Europe, the United States and Latin America. His work is presented at Galería Duque Arango.
