For his upcoming exhibition Beyond Silence at GRAY Chicago, Jaume Plensa explores two long-central tenets of his practice—scale and material.

At the center of the exhibition are two monumental horizontal relief sculptures in carved wood, each measuring 28 feet long. Installed alongside are three dramatically vertical sculptures, each 7 feet high from a new series titled Clouds, that pair cast iron with granite. Lastly are comparatively small scale works at 20 inches high in bronze, from the Twilight series, completing the expression of material range and proportion across the exhibition.
