Joan/javier Coderch/Malavia

Castellar del Valle 1959 / Onati 1970 ( Spain )

Sharing the creation of a work of art is complicated, there has to be a predisposition that allows two personalities to fit together artistically. A single voice without any ego, two sensibilities engaged in a dialogue; four hands, those of Joan and Javier, capable of developing pieces that move between daydreaming and reality. The project uniting these two artists is unusual, as honest and authentic as their works. Joan Coderch was born in Castellar del Vallès, Barcelona (1959), and graduated from Barcelona’s School of Fine Arts in 1984. Their individual journey as sculptors led them to coincide in the workshops of a large company dedicated to artistic production. There they discovered their shared affinities and coincidences in both the artistic field and personal life. In 2015, they finally decided to embark on this project that would take them to various benchmark maestros in the world of figurative art, such as Maillol, Rodin, Marini and Bourdelle.
