Laziness is the representation of how useless we can be, lazy on the couch, watching TV while the real world was in a panic over Covid. Simple spectator before a devastated world.
This is the sixth piece in a series of a collection of 24 works, created during the 2020 lockdown. Unlike many others, Manolo Llaca developed this piece by experimenting with “Inventor” (3D program) and then carved in plaster.
In his work, the main theme is usually the portrait and the space. Influenced by his experience in design and drafting, Manolo's pieces tend toward a minimalist geometric point with a small dose of expressionism bestowed by his devotion to silent films. He seeks in each work the spatial relationship between matter and void, light and shadow, depth and peak, delineating the contours of each of the planes that make up the work. The materials with which the artist works are varied, but he has a great attraction for alabaster, plaster and metals.
Manolo Llaca
Manolo Llaca Osorio “Cepo” is a Hispanic-Mexican sculptor and draftsman who has individually and collectively exhibited his works in Mexico, Spain and France.
He was born in Mexico City in 1963 and currently lives in Madrid since 2004.
He studied Industrial Design and worked in this field for many years and taught Design courses and workshops at different Universities in Guadalajara, Mexico. During this stage he became involved with the plastic arts in a natural and self-taught way, later taking various courses, subjects and workshops. In 1998 he held his first collective exhibition at the Cabañas Institute in this city.
In 2003 he moved to the City of Zaragoza, Spain. He studied "Arts applied to Sculpture" at the Zaragoza School of Art and in 2004 he settled in Madrid where he continued his training in "Sculptural Techniques" at the La Palma School of Art. In July 2004 he had his first solo exhibition "Petits espaces illimités" in Argentan, France.
In 2005 he began to work as a designer draftsman in different companies until 2020. In this long period of time he set up with other friends the artistic workshop "Plataforma34" where he continued to practice sculpture. Currently he has taken a radical turn to dedicate himself exclusively to the plastic arts.
