{"product_id":"homo-rodans-remedios-varo","title":"Homo rodans - Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA surrealist sculpture by Remedios Varo, depicting a hybrid skeletal creature with a wheel-like spine, blending biological form with mechanical invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHomo rodans is a curious sculptural work by the Spanish-Mexican artist Remedios Varo. Created in 1959, this piece occupies a unique space within her output, which is more commonly associated with oil painting. The sculpture depicts a skeletal, hybrid creature that appears to be part human and part mechanical. Its spine forms a wheel, suggesting a form of locomotion that blends biological structure with industrial design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVaro often explored themes of alchemy, science, and the occult. In this work, she presents a pseudo-scientific specimen, complete with a taxonomic name that translates to 'the rolling man'. The skeletal form is constructed from fish bones, wire, and wood, demonstrating her interest in the intersection of natural history and the fantastic. The creature possesses a delicate, almost fragile appearance, yet its design implies a functional purpose within a surrealist narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background of the original presentation often features a textured, atmospheric wash, which contrasts with the precise, linear quality of the sculpture itself. By creating a physical object rather than a painted illusion, Varo invites the viewer to consider the creature as a tangible entity. This work reflects her broader interest in the transformation of matter and the potential for new forms of life to emerge from the synthesis of disparate elements. It remains a singular example of her ability to bridge the gap between the organic world and the realm of invention, maintaining a sense of mystery through its precise, anatomical detail and its improbable, wheel-like anatomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-return-of-the-flame-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Return of the Flame - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-night-at-saint-jean-man-ray\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Night at Saint Jean - Man Ray — Man Ray\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remedios Varo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58826769006927,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58826788045135,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58826788077903,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58826788110671,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58826788143439,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58826788176207,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58826788208975,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58826788241743,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58826788274511,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58826788307279,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58826788340047,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58826788372815,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Homo-rodans_Poster_CompositorV1_1789877682246.jpg?v=1789878332","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/homo-rodans-remedios-varo","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
