AMADEO GABINO "REVISITED"

The artistic career of sculptor Amadeo Gabino has always been marked by the sign of coherence. Few contemporary artists have been more faithful to an intentionality born out of their own convictions and concepts.

Gabino started with the exploration and imitation of the natural world, and knew how to create a universe of hard and sharp metal shapes, smooth and impenetrable surfaces, rough and polished planes, deep hollows that like gaps, eyes or volcanic craters show the mystery of their eruption.

The development of Gabino’s different artistic stages has been gradual but constant. From his first figurative sculptures in bronze, he went on to create his first abstract sculptures in which leaves of wrought iron, like petals of a flower or metaphorical waves of the sea, created horizontal expansions.

Amadeo Gabino's sculptures, composed of superposed metallic layers, like the shell that protects the soft parts of some insects’ bodies, or the tender and juicy layers of a vegetable bulb, acquire the previously unsuspected value of an envelope. Shields, helmets, armor, stelae and vibrations, a world that stands before us as an enigma, an emblem.

In the exhibition Amadeo Gabino "Revisited", which will open for the Barcelona Gallery Weekend event, we will present 18 pieces, including 8 collages, shields and several sculptures, some in large format, making a complete review of his artistic career.
