Jaume Plensa


Jaume Plensa is an internationally acclaimed Spanish artist. Plensa works in a variety of media, including; drawing, sculpture and print, to set design and video and sound installations. His work is made to meld the various elements from our shared universe, including water, light, nature and dreams. Crown Fountain(above) named after the multi-million-dollar gift from the Crown and Goodman families of Chicago, is derived from an ever-changing, year-round exhibition of lights, electronic images and cascading water. It is designed to provide a dynamic space for silent reflection. Jaume has worked and exhibited internationally, including Japan, Italy, France, Spain, Sweden, Germany and Austria.
