★ Best Engravings Award at Estampa 2006 - International Graphic Art Salon, Madrid
Andrés Alcántara, a prominent figure in young Spanish sculpture, is situated in the lineage of the master Brancusi, the first of the moderns who established the grammar of a new refinement, both poetic and artistic, inspired by the primitives. African sculpture, which also served as a reference for Picasso, reverberates the magic of its forms and rituals in Alcántara's work, in a new formulation of a post-cubist grammar that is enriched with the aura of an inaugural, surrealizing mystery, recognized by poets such as Cruzeiro Seixas or Mário Cesariny. The sculptor-poet not only reconnects with the lost link to the original sources of archetypes but also gives three-dimensional form to the contents of an ancestral imagination.
In 2006, the works by Alcántara that we present today, inspired by the mythical figure of the dragon, received the award for the best engraving at Estampa. These works were materialized by the competent technicians of the CPS studio, in three variants, based on metal plates engraved by the acclaimed artist, and they truly reveal his talent and sculptor métier.
