SCULPTURE
Transitory structures
The open container as a formal reference of these sculptures represents the most genuine aspects of life. A penetrable space where both internal and external spaces unite into a unique global space, whereby those who enter, leave and those who leave, enter and due to this movement, the man is born and developes.
Press notes
Exhibition "Estructuras transitorias.org"
Museu Art de Girona
The exhibition challenges us to reflect on the unvisible structures which control us and lend a meaning to our existence, a reflexion which allows a relationship between the internal space (structure) and external space (form). The structure symbolically becomes the vital fundament of all forms, both natural and artificial, as it allows the existence of the form as well as its content.With the exhibition, the artist denounces the excessive importance placed on the form’s presence of man’s reality...

Manu vb Tintoré exposa al Museu d’Art el seu concepte vital d’estructura
The work of Manu Tintoré offers us a view of the world arround us, where everything is organised in essential structures which carry an important symbolic significance because they suggest an inexorable interdependance of the elements of which they are comprised...

Capricis de la Biologia
The exhibited works cause us to reflect on the concept of structure as a foundation and a vessel of life, as its own memory or even as a way to approach the concept of the human being... By virtue of his ingenious organisation of delicate materials, Tintoré succeeds in constructing solid bioform-like presences. He then gudies us through his sculptures, relating them explicitely with those things which affects us directly thus going through an uniquevocable human cartography; a clinical analysis, a photograph of a child, an X-ray of a mouth,... It’s obvious that Tintoré’s work seeks in the form what’s vital in it, separating itself from cold formalism and lack of substance...

...These works refer to the inveterate necessity, both human and animal, to create spaces (structures) which we generally call “existence”: these are works in which delicacy and fragility are accompanied by intelligent reasoning...

Manu Tintoré recerca plástica i inquietud vital
Tintoré presents us with an open and encompassing work-by virtue of its structures, a penetrable space. Both the internal and external spaces unite into a unique global space, whereby those who enter, leave and those who leave, enter and due to this movement, the man is born and developes. The work of Tintoré suggests a ponderance of the human condition from a symbolic perspective. His works is cloaked in an intentionality which tosses aside the phylosophy of art for art’s sake and are charged with a social and humanist compromise of the world which surrounds them. Manu Tintoré argues that by creating, he challenges the rational spectator to search for balance between the natural form and the intelligent form of the material, the objects and ourselves...
