THE ARTWORK

José Molina - Rocket Man

Josè Molina, in this series of works entitled A Hero Never dies, uses playful and lively tones of color, without however sacrificing his visual figurative language.

The theme of the game is used by the artist, together with the masterpieces of Western art and the characters of our time, to propose an art accessible to all. In this particular series A Hero Never dies - Super David, Molina Josè combines the face of famous singer Elton John with a body made of Lego Bricks As in the case of the work Wonder Mona Lisa, the intent of the artist is not the exaltation of the American myth but the recovery of our culture through a more accessible language.

JOSÉ MOLINA - BIOGRAPHY

José Molina, was born in Madrid in 1965, and lives in Como.

Molina gave up his promising career in advertising because he felt oppressed by a sense of responsibility towards his counterparts. As a matter of fact, for Molina art is an instrument of interaction through which make available his research, both self-examining and antropological

With his visionary style, Molina manages to explode and investigate humanity, using surrealism as revealing language of hidden truths. Moreover, Molina usually combines his works with texts and thoughts that are functional for the understanding of the message hidden in his works.

MOLINA AND THE RETURN TO CAREFREENESS

Molina's artistic path is characterized by the analysis of the most secret aspects of the human soul and for the use of the black and white, which visually enhance their impression on the viewer. In the last series of works, titled A Hero Never Dies, Molina abandons the intense and profound tones and substitutes them with bright and vivid colors.

In this collection, Moline let himself to be inspired by a feeling of carefreeness, combining plastic Lego bodies with the faces of famous masterpieces of Western art, actors, singers superhero's and so on. The contrast between the expression of the faces and the stiffness of the bodies, given by the juxtaposition of the famous bricks, creates a significant short circuit. This new reading is a way to make his art accessible and communicative for everyone

The title of the series does not want to project these figures in a mythic world of heroes that does not belong to us, but rather to lead us to think about the very same concept of heroism in contemporary society. The ironic, and sometimes tender, context get the heroes of our times closer to the common people.
