Ramón Cerezo
Barcelona, 1958.
In Ramón Cerezo's work, emptiness is responsible for creating the three-dimensional perspective. Geometric shapes under an appearance of calculation and precision express a world that goes beyond the intellect. Endless lines and curves intertwined and launched into space establish a dialogue between matter and perforation. Open pieces that embrace emptiness and its eternity.
The strength that dominates his sculptures is inherent in the very contradiction that constitutes them: a heavy material such as iron becomes light and manages to create emptiness by filling spaces. He seems to introduce us into a new dimension of unstable balances, where the known is ignored, method is transformed into randomness and where creation is synonymous with destruction.
Since 1991 Ramón Cerezo has participated in countless group exhibitions both in Spain - in Cataluña, Madrid, Andalucía, Cantabria and La Rioja - and abroad - in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Slovenia. He has also held numerous solo exhibitions since 1997 in Granada, Barcelona, Terrassa, Madrid, Sitges, Vigo, Xàbia, Bilbao, Almagro and Balaguer, as well as in the German cities of Freiburg and Stuttgart. Finalist in several sculpture competitions held in Álava, Castellón and Girona, some of his works are part of the collections of the Museo Würth La Rioja, the Vilacasas Can Mario Foundation (Palafrugell, Girona), the Roland Phleps Foundation for Concrete Art (Freiburg, Germany) and the Marguerida de Monferrato Foundation, 2019 (Balaguer, Lleida).
