At Ruiz's House
A richly evocative artistic photomontage, featuring Cris Boinn himself and his partner in an imaginary "selfie" with his great mentor and inspiration. Brief Description and Critical Analysis The image, toned in a sepia tone reminiscent of historical photographs, portrays the artist Cris Boinn in the foreground, smiling. Behind him, looking out of a window of his home, appears Pablo Picasso in one of his most iconic poses, while his smiling partner completes the scene among th

Achi
Achi, an imposing sculpture, is another work from Cris Boinn's series of textured torsos, which explores the connection between the human body and natural elements. Brief Description The work depicts a stylized female torso, divided vertically into two distinct halves: a smooth section with a gold or bronze finish and a dark, extremely rough section, seemingly composed of coal or mineral fragments. At the top, where the head would be, a living or dried Tillandsia (a plant of

Albert
Albert belongs to Cris Boinn's series of threadlike figures, works that explore the essentiality of the human condition through the subtlety of form. Brief Description The work depicts an extremely slender and elongated anthropomorphic figure, cast in metal using a drip or spray technique that creates a highly irregular and lumpy surface. The figure is portrayed in an open pose, with arms raised in a gesture that can be interpreted as an invocation, a sign of welcome, or a da

Rada
This fascinating sculpture is another work by Cris Boinn, depicting Rada, a cat created with the same geometric and material language seen in Jumo the dog. Brief description The work depicts a stylized feline in a composed and proud pose. The surface is dark, almost anthracite, with a grainy texture enriched by subtle golden or ferrous reflections that seem to emerge from the edges. The tail is raised in a broken line, adding dynamism to the static figure. Critical analysis F

Magot
These three sculptures are part of Cris Boinn's "Magot" (or "Ether Warriors") series, works that explore the human figure through extreme synthesis. Brief Description The group features three stylized anthropomorphic figures, crafted with different materials and finishes: one in terracotta tones on a gold base, one in textured gold/bronze, and one black topped with a metal disk reminiscent of an oriental hat. The forms are solid, angular, and recall the appearance of ancient

Cattellan
Plastic on Canvas, a creation by Cris Boinn that establishes a direct and provocative dialogue with the contemporary art world. Description and Critical Analysis The work features a plastic banana fixed to a canvas stained with splashes of paint, accompanied by a key, a padlock, and two slogans: "Please take it" and the title "Plastic on Canvas." Quote and Parody: The work is an explicit response to Maurizio Cattelan's "Comedian" (the famous real banana taped to the wall). By

Bruce
This sculpture, titled Bruce "The Knight of the Rose," is a highly significant work by Cris Boinn, part of his series of wispy, material figures. Description and Critical Analysis The work features an extremely slender, almost skeletal anthropomorphic figure made of cast metal (likely aluminum or a similar alloy, worked in a drip-like manner) holding a real, dried rose. Giacomettian Legacy: The figure's verticality and fragility immediately recall the sculptures of Alberto Gi

Frida
Frida, a material creation by Cris Boinn that pays homage to Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. Brief description The sculpture represents a three-dimensional female torso applied to a black canvas. The body, a yellowish color reminiscent of raw clay, is wrapped in a garment that combines a smooth red section and a section richly decorated with floral motifs. The name "Frida" appears at the top, modeled in textural relief in a deep pink. Critical analysis The body as testimony: The

Jumo
JUMO is a perfect example of how Cris Boinn uses iron to create an expressive geometric synthesis. The sculpture is composed of folded iron sheets with that characteristic dark, slightly grainy texture, typical of a material that "breathes" and transforms over time, just like the soul of the dog the artist wanted to immortalize. 1. Geometric Synthesis and Cubist Legacy The work is part of a tradition rooted in Cubism and Constructivism. Boinn does not seek a realistic copy, b
