Description

This is a truly fun sculpture by the Mexican artist Bruno Luna. Luna's sculpture work features plump characters in everyday work and actions. This sculpture, which is entitled "The Catcher," is of a baseball player created in bronze around 1990. The base of the sculpture and inscribed by the artist.

Bruno Luna was born in Mexico City on July 9, 1963. Interested in art since his childhood, he completed a painting workshop with Professor Robin Bond, and then proceeded to the Anahuac University of Mexico City to study Architecture and Graphic Design. Over the years, his work evolved into a very distinct style, in which voluptuousness is converted into aesthetics. The influences of Mexican tradition, combined with almost cubist, Picasso-like treatment of the human form and the the sculptors bold interpretation of the medium, manage to transform the ridiculous into the sublime. Incredibly real, Bruno Luna's sculptures carry an undeniable air of happiness and vitality. However, this sculptor's most incredible achievement is undeniably, the way in which motion is captured in each of his bronze figures. Although frozen in time, each individual piece creates an illusion of continuous movement.

This sculpture is really charming and showcases the fun and contemporary style of Bruno Luna.
