La Venus, Small

Eladio de Mora-Granados, dEmo, is one of the most original creators on the Spanish art scene. Born in Mora, Toledo, in 1960. A self-taught artist, dEmo's concerns began when he conceived a doll with springs, nuts and tweezers. A great art connoisseur and enthusiast, he is also known for his role as a collector. A multidisciplinary artist, he has focused his work fundamentally on sculpture, which he conceives, above all, to be exhibited in public spaces. dEmo manages to turn everyday elements, common utensils and toys rescued from our collective memory into authentic icons. This iconization of the domestic is one of the main hallmarks of this artist's work. Bears, ducks, divers, flowers, rhinoceroses, cows, pigs, cats, robots, with bright flat colors that can reach enormous dimensions and often repetitions of the same element, populate the visual world of dEmo, which tries to seduce the public with humor, to achieve greater ecological awareness, without losing sight of the fact that sculpture is not an object, but rather a question and a motor of thought.
