DOM Art Residence, Barcelona, Portal Nou, 35Joan Priego is a Catalan sculptor working primarily with wood. His practice develops a figurative language that deconstructs the idea of a unified and morally stable personality. Remaining faithful to the material, Priego does not conceal the nature of recycled wood — he emphasizes it.
Old fragments, glued elements, rough and uneven surfaces: his figures are assembled rather than carved as monoliths. They are asymmetrical, unfinished, and unstable. Priego’s human figure exists in a state of inner tension, where instinct and social role, impulse and prohibition, strength and vulnerability collide. His sculptures do not depict the body as an object; they visualize consciousness in a state of conflict.
The exhibition is conceived as a natural science museum. Different species and forms of existence are presented, with man — divided, fragmented, and incomplete — becoming the central object of observation.
In this pseudo-museum, Priego studies not anatomy but inner dynamics: instincts, emotions, fears, and defense mechanisms. His characters appear as survivors of trauma, marked by rough textures and scar-like surfaces.
Man and Other Animals invites the viewer to confront the explicit, the imperfect, and the unpolished — to look beneath the civilized surface. This is not a display of rare species, but an opportunity to encounter our own nature, unfiltered.
We look forward to welcoming you on March 20.

Children’s Sculpture Workshop with Joan Priego
At DOM Art Residence we invite children to a creative sculpture workshop led by Catalan artist Joan Priego.
This workshop is designed as a playful introduction to the world of sculpture. Inspired by Priego’s artistic approach, children will explore how sculptures can be created from different fragments while developing imagination, creativity and a sense of form.
Participants will work with aluminum foil and plaster — first shaping the internal structure and then adding volume and texture to create their own unique character.
The workshop encourages curiosity, hands-on creativity and gives children the opportunity to experience the artistic process in an inspiring artistic environment.
Date: March 22
Time: 14:00 – 15:30
Location: Portal Nou 35, Barcelona
Age: 7–12 years
All materials are provided.
Registration via the link in bio.
Places are limited.
We look forward to welcoming our young sculptors at DOM Art Residence.
