Chillida: Rhythm – Time – Silence

Image
Small exhibition at the Ordovas Gallery of three works by Eduardo Chillida. The three works are rarely seen and were made of steel and granite. One in the middle seemed to change shape as you walked round it, giving different views through a circular structure all balanced on one end. I loved the granite work which looked like a big park bench. I so wanted to sit on it! I liked the square cut though it and the way the light shone through these spaces. Closes on 23 April 2016    

Chillida on Miró

Interesting small exhibition at Ordovas looking at the friendship of two of Spain’s most important modern artists Joan Miro and Eduardo Chillida. There was a mix of pictures and sculpture by both artists and it was interesting to draw comparisons. I must admit I am not a big Miro fan, I do keep trying but he leaves me a bit cold so I wasn’t intrigued by this friendship however it was a nicely set out show. This gallery is good and taking just a few objects and building a story with them. Review Telegraph
