Salvador Juanpere (Vilaplana, 1953) belongs to the generation of sculptors who became known at the beginning of the eighties. His initial works are based on “poor art” references and he lately evolved by interweaving science, poetics and anthropology in his works, displaying material and conceptual strength. He has recently directed his work towards processual and instrumental reflection of sculpture and its metalanguage.

He used to be a teacher at the Escola Massana (1987-2004) and, at present, he is teaching at the Fine Arts School of the University of Barcelona.

His work is present in several public and private collections, including MACBA, Fundació La Caixa, Fundació Collserola or Fundació Vila Casas, as well as the Art Collection of the Scottish Parliament, in Edinburgh. His public works are exhibited in Reus, Terrassa, Montornès del Vallès, Barcelona, and in Finland and South Chorea. He has been devoted several individual exhibitions at Espai 10 in Fundació Miró, at Palau de la Virreina in Barcelona, at the Museum of Modern Art in Tarragona, at the Fundació Vila Casas in Barcelona and in some galleries.
