Jumping Brain (Brain Hue Series)
While one might expect the monosyllabic utterance of "Brains!" to issue forth from a zombie's gristled maw, it could also be the delighted — almost child-like — reaction viewers instinctively have when first exposed to the artwork of Emilio García. With the brain being a subject of personal fascination dating back to childhood, García channelled his predilection into a powerful image: the Jumping Brain. Adding frog's legs to the fold enveloped form, García's Jumping Brain was the first of several sculptural creations from the Spanish artist to use the vital organ's contour. But what initially inspired this direction for García? To learn about the future works of this iconic artist, one must first understand his past.
