About the Item

Hand-carved eucalyptus wood sculpture by the artist Álvaro de la Vega (1954, Lugo, Spain) in 20006. It is part of a series of sculptures of bodies and animals made with chisel and hammer, in the traditional manner. The sculpture measures 50 x 43 x 33 cm and a steel cable that holds the work to the wall and passes through the mouth of the bust. It is currently on display in the exhibition "Ingredients" at the Manolo Eirin Gallery. His works are in private and public collections. He has been exhibiting for over 40 years in various Spanish and international galleries, and at 71 years old, he continues to work. His latest pieces bring an unexpected dimension to his long career in woodworking, recycling rubber from car tires, shredding them, and transforming them into human flesh and bone. He creates solid sculptures, similar to those he used to make in different types of wood, this time in rubber, forging a hybrid between the mechanical and the extraordinarily human. All his work speaks of the unexpected nature of gesture, the presence of the body, and the importance of skin in his sculptures.
