Paul Daly, architect and artist, was the winner of the 2018 Fundació Vila Casas Sculpture Prize with the work Rambla (Senescencia).  The exhibition, at the Can Framis Museum was curated by Glòria Bosch, is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Barcelona and brings together a selection of his works from recent years.

Daly focuses his artistic investigations on the exploration and analysis of organic matter. The natural processes of decomposition, such as the action of the elements and bacterial decay, are interrupted at different points so as to attain a variety of structural and chromatic effects which become the center of his pieces. The light that shines through the organic matter works as a catalyst and, as in nature, imparts life to each of the artworks in the exhibition. The materials he uses include ivy, laurel, maple and beech, elements taken from nature in order to represent it.
