Blue Thinker

“Thinker” (2018) portrays Jorge Blanco’s beloved moon-faced creation in a moment of contemplation. The blue shade, a color that signifies calmness, clarity, and peace, conveys the thoughtfulness of the man-shaped sculpture, resting atop a cube. Blanco’s sculptures form a perfect bridge between classic ideas and modern themes, as the striking lines are juxtaposed against curves to suggest hunched shoulders, kicking feet, and a gaze that looks upward to the heavens, a metal man lost in thought.
