Meter-high heads in baroque style, men with streaming locks and women with expressive faces, scattered around as fragments in space. They evoke associations of a battle having been fought between the gods and the titans, the remains of which have now become visible.
The work shows a conflict, an inner battle, but also the result of aggression; figures are tied together, they seem to be startled, sometimes wounded, and we occasionally see fragments of bodies indicating that the battle can also be fought at the level of life and death.
With Javier Marín, art is emotion, an emotion that balances on the edge of the shocking reality of today full of fear and horror on one hand and a world of ideal beauty on the other, the edge between the vigour of youth and the decline of old-age.
