CARLES PIERA
Random Tribes is a game of identities. Avoiding the most clichéd stereotypes, I have tried to represent the most contemporary and common urban tribes, with a slight mix of styles in each character. The love I have for artistic creation as an inventor of new worlds has made me treat each sculpture as a new life, giving it identity and personality individually. In them, physiognomies subtly emerge that become familiar as they are molded, and that I can recognize in any space in the city. My characters live in the next music festival, in the bustle of the beach on an August morning, in the train station you take to return home, or in the line at the supermarket where you make the last purchase of the day.
At Random Tribes, each sculpture is a life, a unique identity that reflects the diversity of contemporary urban tribes in any corner of the city.
