Nico Baixas / Gos-com-fuig
(Photographies by Mara Sanchez-Renero)
This work explores the sculptural capacities of the hands. Stripping them from their symbolism or the functions for which they are normally used, I explored them like someone examining a foreign body, searching for their limits and pushing them in different directions. To do this, I used opposing sculptural concepts like straight-curved, and simple-complex; searched for the interconnection between fingers, and the balance between distances, and tried to generate geometric shapes and textures. At times, I would find shapes that were like doors opening onto a myriad of new possibilities. Throughout the process, I discovered a world of fingers that transformed reality taking it to another level.
It is an abstract development, I didn't try to make the forms resemble known things. Despite this, the results are very suggestive, sometimes they look like architectural constructions or industrial designs, shells, corals, branches, flowers, masks... This effect is produced because many of these real objects are made with the same proportions or mathematical patterns inherent in nature. This is a question that interested me a lot. The fact that the distance of the finger bones coincides with the Fibonacci numbers, related to the golden ratio, which the Greeks and Renaissance considered the ideal of beauty, gives these shapes a special balance and perhaps a divine dimension.

Nico Baixas / Gos-com-fuig is a creative interdisciplinary artist from Barcelona. He started performing in theater at three years of age with his parent's company La Claca whose most important work was a collaboration with the famous painter Joan Miró. Surrounded by an ambient of artistic freedom, Nico spent most of his childhood in art museums and theaters of the five continents when he resolved to pursue an artístic career, studying music, working in cinema and acting. On his mother's side, his grandparents were deaf and spoke sign language, Nico inherited a special talent with his hands creating a unique style of virtuoso hand puppet performances. After joining Cirque du Soleil his work is acclaimed by audiences and critics of major cities like New York, Tokyo, Paris, London, Rome... Aside from his career as an actor and hand puppeteer, Nico develops a more personal line of work which he signs as Gos-com-fuig. With this alter ego he uses his hands and body to paint and create abstract and figurative photographs, videos, sculptures, and multimedia performances which give the viewer lots of freedom of interpretation. This body of work started with a collection of all the shapes that can be created with two hands which are formed by one thousand shapes organized in order. The project received the grant GENERACIONES 07 and was presented at the art fair ARCO (Madrid). Afterward, continued with a photographic exhibition, the publication of a book, and the development of a multimedia system composed of a computer program and video cameras which allowed him to paint using his hands and body.

"Leading Horse", Kansas City, 1997
By Pete Kelly
Located in Hudson, NY
This will be shipped direct from the artist to you or your framer.
In this photograph a silhouetted horse follows a silhouetted figure closely as they trek through a field. The use of abstracted figures helps emphasize the emotional aspect of Kelly's main theme: the bond between humans and animals.
Pete Kelly finds his inspiration in nature and the landscape. Specifically focusing on, "The reclamation by nature of urban settings", Kelly finds a particularly strong aesthetic and power in the beauty of the urban landscape. "I try to see beauty around me, drawing beauty from ugliness by capturing close up textures of fading paint or graffiti, or by reducing the shape of the subject to silhouette."
Kelly's fascination with photography, the quality, and flexibility of the medium began at a very early age. Born in England in 1966, and as the son of a military man, Kelly spent most of his childhood growing up in West Germany. After leaving school Kelly enrolled in a photography course with the R. A. F Photographic Unit, based in Wildenrath in Germany. Although this initial training lasted only six months, it established a life long passion and dedication to photography. Already an avid traveller, Kelly initially decided to return to the UK,
to study Graphic Design at Stockport College, before moving to America in 1987. After completing an Internship at an innovative commercial photography studio in America,
Kelly began working as a Photographers Assistant.
Working closely with a range of photographers allowed him to intrinsically develop his own
refined sense of aesthetic as well as develop and master photographic theory and technique. Now working as a Fine Art Photographer in his own right,
Pete Kelly utilizes the most cutting edge equipment and techniques,
painting with photography by compositing and layering photographs...
