Enrique Asensi is a sculptor.
Born in Valencia in 1950, he now lives and works between Cologne and Barcelona.
It was in 2020 that Enrique Asensi made miniature sculptures for the first time. Accustomed to monumental pieces, the change of scale was drastic, and yet the artist has managed to retain all the strength and complexity of the confrontations he likes to set up between stone and metal.
For his monumental works, he mainly uses granite and corten steel, while for his jewellery he has opted for diabase – close to volcanic basalt – and brushed brass.
The exhibition Joy***A is to reveal some thirty unique jewellery-sculptures by Enrique Asensi. They comprise an array of pendants and rings to be discovered (and to try on!) at the gallery from September 10, 2021.
