List of products by manufacturer Ignacio Asenjo Fernández

An exploration of dynamics, movement and rest is the imaginary concept that could connect these small-scale pieces created by Ignacio Asenjo in the nineties. Eminently visual and incredibly modelled, the perfect forms that breathe life into the animals seem to engage in motion at any given moment within the space of time in which the observer's gaze remains fixed. His 'Leona nadando' [Swimming lioness] is a rather aesthetic and technical triumph. The discontinuation of the physical shape in the water, depicted in bronze that even appears to be melted, is positively pleasing to the eyes, a masterful optical illusion that clearly demonstrates strong academic training. In his depictions of bulls he experiments with behaviours, with analysed compositions that challenge gravity (Toro II) [Bull II] or that covey a fleeting moment frozen in time, a charge, an intention (Toro I) [Bull I]. And rest, experimenting with volumes, materials and textures, which is embodied in Pantera [Panther], provides a more personal touch to this collection. In his current work, the artist perceives things in a different light, with a deep and thorough critique, creating pieces that are engaged with the most sensitive social issues.
