Lladro pays tribute to the modern circus with a series of spectacular sculptures in which equilibrium, poise, elegance and agility have been rendered to perfection in each one of these pieces. The excellent modeling work is truly spectacular and required thorough prior anatomical study. The posture of the bodies, the tension of the musculature and the expression on their faces play a truly important role in making us see and understand the difficulty in performing these exercises.
In the juggler piece the wooden base acts as a frame for the exercise, creating the visual effect that the three clubs are suspended in the air circling around his head, the distance between each one of the clubs conveying the importance of coordination in the timing and the strength at which they are tossed. The circus and its bright coloring was ever present in the decoration of these pieces and various techniques are used : glaze and matte are combined, golden luster applied in some of the details of the artists costumes, as well as Lladros classic palette of colors, though in stronger tones than we are used to seeing in other pieces.
