Jos\u00e9 Zugasti\u2019s latest solo exhibition, entitled \u201cFigura y Abstracci\u00f3n, evoluci\u00f3n en el espacio gravitatorio\u201d (Figures and Abstraction: Evolution in Gravitational Space), opened last year in San Sebasti\u00e1n at BASQUE LUXURY STUDIO and will remain open to the public until the second quarter of this year. The show, made up of works created by the artist during different periods from 1984 to 2020, includes a diptych painting and medium- and large-scale sculptures.<\/p>\n
These works reflect on concepts such as the visual representation of weight and lightness, fragility, and the instability of bodies. In some of the pieces, problems acquire an anthropomorphic front. Meanwhile, in others, they are freed from the human matrix so as to inhabit the cosmos.<\/p>\n
\u201cFigures and Abstraction: Evolution in Gravitational Space\u201d is one of the many exhibitions and retrospective shows in which Zugasti has been the protagonist. His work is so renowned that leading museums, as well as Spanish governmental institutions and private entities, all own some of his pieces. He has also installed numerous public pieces in cities throughout Spain.<\/p>\n
Zugasti\u2019s fruitful career has resulted in an immense collection of sculptures, paintings, and video creations in which matter and its absence make up metaphysical realities and shapes are able to represent relationships and their complexities \u2013 that which is absolute; delicate perfection; origin and destiny.<\/p>\n
