This strange duo of half-fantastic, half-familiar characters, in bright blue, yellow and red, marks the entrance to Westfield Les Quatre-Temps from a height of twelve metres. The duo was installed prior to the opening of the shopping center.

This work reflects Miró's predilection for colorful, whimsical, ill-defined worlds, a nod to the conformism of everyday life. His unclassifiable work demonstrates absolute plastic freedom and unbridled inventiveness on the frontiers of the imaginary, propelling us into "a truly phantasmagorical world of living monsters", in his words.

These two fantastical characters represent an unstable balance between the childlike joy of the moment and the disturbing strangeness of destiny. They are made of polyester resin.

Joan Miró was born to a jeweler in 1893. He developed a passion for art at an early age. He studied at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, then at the Galli Academy.

In 1919, he moved to Paris, where he met the greatest artists of his time. He was first influenced by Fauvism, then Cubism, before joining André Breton's Surrealist group. Of all the genres, it was Dadaism that particularly moved him. In his paintings, sculptures and collages, he used imagination, humor and fantasy to breathe new life into the objects and forms around him. He died in 1983.
