Born on this day: Elias Crespin

Elias Crespin's work embodies a unique combination of artistic intuition and scientific rigor. He seeks to create sculptures that give visible form to the laws of the universe, suggesting a cosmic world governed by mathematical laws. His electrokinetic sculptures, subject to the laws of gravity and equilibrium, move from order to chaos, evoking the beauty and complexity of the universe.

His work has been featured in significant exhibitions this year, including 'Une brève histoire de fils' at the Maison de l'Amérique Latine and 'Chronomorphosis', his first solo exhibition in Sweden. Additionally, his monumental Grand HexaNet (2018) was acquired by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and is now part of the permanent collection of the institution.

Last year, Baró Galeria held Elias Crespin's first solo exhibition in Mallorca, 'Cosmologies', featuring four of his kinetic sculptures.
