Jaume Plensa is an internationally acclaimed sculptor. Born in 1955 in Barcelona, the culture, streets and architecture of the Catalan capital have been a constant source of inspiration. He is best known for figurative sculptures, often found in public settings. He works in steel, glass, marble, wood, stone and light. Major projects include his "Crown Fountain" in Chicago's Millennium Park and "Dream", a large scale sculpture near Liverpool, and in 2015 Plensa was commissioned to create sculptures for San Giorgio Maggiore at the Venice Biennale. In the eleventh episode of Brilliant Ideas, presented by Bloomberg and Hyundai Motor, we journey through Plensa's world. |
