      Est: €26,000 - €27,000

      PER BARCLAY (Oslo, 1955). "The slaughter house", 1996. Type C photograph of the installation created. Provenance: private collection. Formerly Oliva Arauna Gallery (Inver-Kalis SA). Measurements: 205 x 165 cm. With the installation "The Slaughterhouse", Per Barclay played with the reflective effect of the blood of the cattle, making the floor shine. In the same way that in other installations he deployed symbolisms of the disturbing effects of spilled oil in uninhabited spaces, here the references are multiplied: nods to the history of art, but also to the idea of sacrifice and violence. Per Barclay is a sculptor, photographer and art historian. His art installations have been seen in museums all over the world. Per Barclay's work combines concepts of tension and drama, which he works with the influence of the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. After studying art history in Bergen, in 1979 he left Norway to find new artistic references in Italy. In Florence he studied design and photography, then moved to the Academy of Bologna in 1981 and two years later to Rome. After spending time in Naples, he moved to Turin, where he came into direct contact with the artists of Arte Povera. From then on, the artist used oil and water as pictorial elements, and steel and glass as structural materials for his pieces. In 1994 he moved to Paris, where he lives and develops his projects. His works can be found, among others, in the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, the Henie-Onstad Art Centre, in the museum of contemporary art "Kiasma" in Helsinki and in different museums in Spain (Koldo Mitxelena Kulturunea, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía), Italy and France (Centre de Création Contemporaine). He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1990, in the Lillehammer Art Museum during the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994, in the Bergen International Festival in 2001 and the Northern Norwegian Festival in 2009, and has contributed to the international project Skulpturlandskap Nordland.

      Est: €11,000 - €12,000

      PER BARCLAY (Oslo, 1955) "The Jaguar's Cage, 1991. Colour photography. It has a label on the back of the Oliva Arauna Gallery (Madrid). Measurements: 177 x 226 cm. Interaction with space is a constant in Per Barclay's work, cubes and cages are the protagonists of pieces in which he delimits space and reflects on the habitable. In these enclosed spaces he usually introduces a liquid element such as water, oil and wine, with which he intervenes in these spaces or even floods them, as can be seen in this photograph. In the artist's own words; "The effect of my works is that you are always on the outside, the work does not allow you to enter. This creates a sense of anxiety and produces a certain violence; this is what I try to express in my work, the idea of extreme violence that exists in contemporary society". Per Barclay is a Norwegian artist who began his artistic education with a degree in art history. During his training he moved to Italy, where he lived until 1994, and his artistic production is characterised by a multidisciplinary approach, in which he uses different techniques such as photography, installation and sculpture. Throughout his artistic career he has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions, including the Fondazione Merz (Turin, Italy, 2008), the Palacio de Cristal del Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid, 2003), Koldo Mitxelena Kulturunea (San Sebastián, 2002), the Centre de Création Contemporaine (Tours, France, 2001) and the Venice Biennale (1990), among others. His work forms part of national and international collections such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), the Fundación Telefónica (Madrid), the Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain (Nice, France), Es Baluard Museu dArt Modern i Contemporani de Palma and the Bergen Kunstmuseum (Bergen, Norway).
