Paul Daly, architect and artist, was the winner of the 2018 Fundació Vila Casas Sculpture Prize with the work Rambla (Senescencia).  The exhibition on show at the Can Framis Museum until 19 January 2020, curated by Glòria Bosch, brings together a selection of works from recent years and is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Barcelona.

Daly focuses his artistic investigations on the exploration and analysis of organic matter. The natural processes of decomposition, such as the action of the elements and bacterial decay, are interrupted at different points of the process so as to attain a variety of structural and chromatic effects which become the epicentre of his pieces. The light that shines through the organic matter works as a catalyst and, as in nature, imparts life to each of the artworks in the exhibition.  The materials he uses include ivy, laurel, maple and beech, elements taken from nature in order to represent it.
