Takis

This is the first solo show in Barcelona for Greek artist Takis (Panagiotis Vassilakis, 1925-2019), a pioneer in the creation of new artistic forms using invisible energies that surround us, like magnetism and electricity. Takis, who developed greatly as an artist while living and working in Paris, London and New York, aspired to make energy visible: 'I'd like to make visible this invisible, colourless, pure and naked world that can't irritate our sight, taste or sex,' the artist said. His sculptures and genius are on display throughout the rooms of the MACBA in a silent and contemplative exhibition.
