MESALLES DEMURA. Biography A sculptor with a multidisciplinary background, Mesalles Demura, originally from Catalonia, lives between Barcelona and Níger. Demura initiated her career in the world of performance and drama in 1994, as a member and director of diverse manifestations of performing arts. While participating in amateur companies such as "˜Burroughs Desnudo' - fashioned by its strong literary underpinning - as well as "˜Aimia adesiarA', or "˜Cants de Mort', in the field of theatre, Demura specialized in sculpture under the tuition of Gabriel, Tom Carr and Cami (La Massana, Barcelona 2004), performance and medieval arts with Ricart Salvat and Jordi Roca (University of Barcelona) and was a member of the art group B-612 between 2002 and 2011. Demura's work draws from various sources, among which one identifies Mediterranean and Oriental influences, as well as reflections on contemporary formal precepts already established in the work of Brancusi, Jean Arp, or Noguchi. In Demura's more figurative work, one recalls the will of expression of the late 19th century German authors. Her first solo exhibition took place at "˜The Gallery' in Islington , London, in May 2012.
