Son of the painter Alejandro Ferrant, Ángel (Madrid, 1891 - 1961) was an outstanding sculptor of the Spanish avant-garde, initiator of the kinetic and surrealist sculpture in Spain. He trained in Madrid, at the School of Arts and Crafts, at the Academy of San Fernando and in the workshop of Aniceto Marinas, expanding his knowledge through travels in Europe and a stay in Paris. In 1918 he moved to La Coruña to obtain a chair at the School of Arts and Crafts in the city, and later moved to Barcelona. In 1934 he returned to Madrid, where he settled permanently. His awards include the National Sculpture Prize (1926) and the sculpture prize at the Venice Biennale (1960). He exhibited with different groups such as Los Evolucionistas, the Asociación de Escultores y los Amigos de las Artes Nuevas (A.D.L.A.N.), and in the late forties he joined the Altamira School as a key artist. He is represented in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao and the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, among others.
