AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sculpture made of steel with a rusted finish, conceived for installation both outdoors and indoors. The piece can be fixed to a base or plinth, adapting to different exhibition contexts.
The work presents itself as a formal investigation into the tension between matter and emotion. Through folded planes and angular directions, it configures a language in which each metallic gesture acts as a contained pause, generating an unstable balance between structural strength and expressive delicacy. Rust is not presented solely as a finish, but as an active element of the discourse, incorporating the notion of time and transformation.
Forged in 4 mm thick steel plates, assembled by welding, the piece establishes a dialogue between technical precision and poetic charge, where the material construction sustains a contained expressive dimension.
About the artists
Fern is the pseudonym under which Clavo and Carmen Lop work jointly. Their practice centers on forging and metal construction, mainly iron and steel, exploring a spectrum from figurative to abstract, with influences from pop language.
They have developed their career nationally through collective and individual exhibitions, and have received recognitions such as the Premio de Escultura Urbana Ciudad de Ávila (2006) and the Memorial to the Victims of Machista Violence in Zaragoza (2016).
Their work engages with the tradition of contemporary Spanish sculpture, in relation to figures such as Eduardo Chillida, Jorge Oteiza, Martín Chirino and Julio González.
