Throughout the year, many artists (who have donated to the Eyes of the world Foundation Art Fund) exhibit their creations in various exhibition spaces around the world. Congratulations from the Foundation and we are proud to see how their art continues to expand and grow day by day.<\/p>\n
Currently six of them (Joan Fontcuberta, Manel Esclusa, Ignasi Aball\u00ed, Miquel Mont, Manuel Outumuro and Jaume Plensa)<\/strong> are in the mouths of art lovers because they have works and collections open to the public.<\/p>\n Visions began in 2008 with a series of 28 photographs by Manel Esclusa<\/strong> taken in the Sahara in 2006. \u201cIt began as a kind of need to put my art, made with sight, at the service of an organization which is dedicated precisely to make people see\u201d explained the artist in an interview\u200b granted to the Foundation. Today, Esclusa is receiving a well-deserved tribute in his hometown, Vic, with four exhibitions in different parts of the city for the tenth anniversary of ACVic Contemporary Arts Center.<\/p>\n Another artist who has contributed in solidarity with the Art Fund of Eyes of the world is Jaume Plensa.<\/strong> The Catalan artist has been in the spotlight since he inaugurated on October 21 his largest public sculpture, permanently installed in New York. The work is called Water’s soul <\/em>and depicts the face of a young woman with her finger on her lips in a state of silent contemplation. At the Foundation we currently have a sculpture of his entitled Janus (11-piece series)<\/em><\/strong>, although in a much smaller format, which conveys the same serenity and harmony that emerges from all his works.<\/p>\n The series Semi\u00f3polis: Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/em> by Joan Fontcuberta is also a key piece in the Visions collection due to the appreciable link between artistic expressions and awareness of the Universal Right to Sight<\/strong>. A sign language painting that exposes the paradox that blind people, who could decipher our message, cannot see the image, and those who can see it cannot understand it and are therefore equally \u201cblind \u201d to its content. Today, Fontcuberta has an active exhibition until January 2022 at the Vila Casas Foundation entitled Monsters<\/em>.<\/p>\n With a very different approach from the previous artists we find Miquel Mont<\/strong> who works with painting from its density, to turning his pieces almost into three-dimensional objects such as Coop\u00e9rations XXXIII<\/em>, a painting that is part of the Art Fund.<\/strong> Mont could be also recently visited in Barcelona, in the Roc\u00edo Santa Cruz gallery, and in Madrid, in Formato C\u00f3modo. Both exhibitions share the same narrative line, as the pandemic has made him realize that time is no longer linear but an unstable concept.<\/p>\n
