This work inspired me as well as all his others but I found these pieces of work were its exhibited excellently were you have to go out your way and stop to look at his work in stead of walking past it as a daily object. I am going to use this in my work when exhibiting my work, so I am going to talk to tutors so this actually happens as I think its really effective. Also im going go make the human figure like this but in different mediums I haven't clarified which yet with tutors to make sure I have access to the materials I want to use.


Plensa was born in Barcelona, Catalonia and studied art there, in the "Llotja" School and in the Escola Superior de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi.
His works include the Crown Fountain at Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It opened in July 2004.The fountain is composed of a black granite reflecting pool placed between a pair of glass brick towers. The towers are 50 feet (15 m) tall, and they use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to display digital videos on the inward faces.
Another Plensa piece is Blake in Gateshead, in North East England, a laser beam that on special occasions shines high into the night sky over Gateshead's Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. In the summer of 2007 he participated in the Chicago Public Art exhibit, Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet.
