Coderch & Malavia | Figurative sculptors

Coderch and Malavia is a sculpture project in which the human body is at the core of the plastic discourse.

A universe of meaningful forms centred on the idealised human figure. And a clear horizon: Beauty as an everyday tool.

Joan Coderch and Javier Malavia came together in 2015 to carry out sculptural work featuring a refined technique, which is present from the modelling in the studio to the final piece cast in bronze.

Monet's Venice

The canvases Monet painted during his sole voyage to Venice, in the fall of 1908, are among the most popular and the best known of his art works.

However, their number is relatively small: 37 canvases featuring a dozen different views, taken within short distance of one another.

"Although I am enthusiastic about Venice, and though I've started a few canvases, I'm afraid I will only bring back beginnings that will be nothing else but souvenirs for me", Monet wrote to the art seller Gaston Bernheim on October 25.
