Jaume Plensa is a world-renowned sculpture artist from Spain, known for his iconic public artworks. His work explores the relationship between humans and their environment by combining elements such as text, light, sound, and space. In particular, his metal sculptures of skeletonized mesh human heads have become one of the classic icons of contemporary art.
Introduction to the Mesh Head Sculpture
One of Jaume Plensa’s most striking works is his large-scale openwork mesh sculptures of human heads. Often made of metal mesh, these sculptures present a translucent, lightweight visual effect, giving them a sense of floating and stillness despite their size.
Metal mesh structure: the sculptures are made of stainless steel or similar materials of metal mesh, presenting a sense of light yet strong structure.
Combination of abstraction and realism: the human head has a realistic shape, but the openwork design makes it seem like an open “mind space”.
Interactivity: thanks to the openwork design, the viewer can see the sculpture from different angles and the light passing through the mesh casts unique shadows on the ground and in the surrounding environment.
Public art on a global scale: the sculptures are often placed in urban public spaces such as parks, squares and in front of museums, encouraging the public to interact with the work.
Replicas from Trevi Factory
Our factory customized a classic white stainless steel metal mesh big head sculpture for a client in the United States. This sculpture is known for its elegant design and deep artistic connotation. We highly focused on restoring the essence of the original work to ensure a high level of visual effect, material selection, and craftsmanship details.
The sculpture is made of stainless steel mesh (painted white). Height: 3 meters (approximately 9.84 feet) The design features an openwork mesh structure and a simple, tense head shape that expresses the lightness and openness of Jaume Plensa’s original work.
Visual Lightness
The sculpture is made of high-strength and extremely thin stainless steel mesh, which has been precision-machined in several stages to achieve a smooth and even distribution of the mesh structure. Even as a three-meter-high sculpture, the whole remains light and airy, creating a floating visual effect.
Material and Craftsmanship
The use of high-quality stainless steel material ensures the durability and corrosion resistance of the sculpture, which is suitable for long-term outdoor display.
Advanced welding and cutting techniques are used to ensure smooth and strong grid connection points to avoid roughness.
