Sobriety and the predominance of essential forms in the COR Space.

Joan Cortés: full in the void
bonart palm - 15/01/25

Palma has added a new space dedicated to contemporary art, the Espai COR , located in the heart of the Cort neighborhood. This project, promoted by Casal Solleric , was born as an open platform for current artistic creation. The first exhibition it hosts, 'Ple al buit', is the work of the Mallorcan artist Joan Cortés , who proposes two lines of work. On the one hand, we find his most recognized approach, with sculptures and engravings that explore organic forms. These pieces, characterized by a subtle abstraction, speak of the body, being and sensuality. Their colors – white, pink and black – focus attention on the details of the forms with a unique style that Cortés has developed over the years.

The other side of the exhibition delves into a more material and primitive terrain. Here, the artist focuses on elements linked to the territory, natural forms and human constructions. The works evoke shelters, landscapes and traditional architectures, with references to artisanal techniques and ancient constructions, such as African or Persian ones. This part connects with the human root and the link with our past, searching for what is essential in the form of beauty.

Born in Mallorca in 1964, Joan Cortés began his artistic career in the 1980s, but did not establish himself as a sculptor until the 1990s. His style is characterized by simplicity and careful work on volumes and textures. His creations are often inspired by organic forms, both plant and mineral, always with a minimalist approach that prioritizes essence over ornamentation. Cortés explores a more measured and reflective aesthetic. His work seeks balance, plays with materials, textures and volumes in a refined way, creating pieces that connect with those who contemplate them in a direct and sincere way.

The COR Space is therefore opening with a proposal that fits with its desire to bet on contemporary art, rediscovering the work of an artist who has dedicated his career to exploring the possibilities of form and matter.
