Through energetic and seemingly spontaneous brushstrokes, he depicts places, buildings, objects, and urban fixtures that, over time, have become symbols of the Basque Country. Notable examples include the <em>txapela<\/em> (traditional Basque beret) and various icons of the city of San Sebasti\u00e1n, such as Santa Clara Island, the Art Deco streetlamps designed by V\u00edctor Arana that illuminate the Zurriola Bridge, and the monumental obelisks crowned by sculptures which guard the Mar\u00eda Cristina Bridge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Works from the <em>Basque Treasures<\/em> series can be seen at the gallery the artist has in central San Sebasti\u00e1n, as well as in his studio in Zarautz. This latter space, spread over two floors, includes a painting <em>atelier<\/em>, a workshop where he shapes small- and medium-scale sculptures, and an exhibition hall open to the public (by appointment) where numerous events are held, many of which combine gastronomy and art \u2014 among other combinations. Here, his <em>Basque Treasures<\/em> coexist with his impeccable sea-themed work, his iconic weathering steel sculptures, and paintings from other series that have shaped his creative universe \u2014 always revolving around two central themes: movement and the sea.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I\u00f1igo Manterola<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calle San Bartolom\u00e9 7, San Sebasti\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tel.: <a href=\"tel:+34617332813\"><strong>+34 617 332 813<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/inigomanterola.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inigomanterola.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his most recent series, Basque Treasures, artist I\u00f1igo Manterola continues to explore movement from a fresh perspective.
