Sculptures

Lalín is land of artists and Art lovers. It is obvious in its streets. A good way of crossing Lalin village is discovering its sculptures. Some of them have turned into symbols of the municipality, as the dedicated one to Loriga, the aviator, or the statue of the pork.

Some of them monumental, different and discreet another ones...figuratives or abstracts, all of them have a history behind...make up your mind and come to discover it!

Work composed of two pieces, one of them made of steel and stone, both cold materials but with different industrial significance. The scene is located on the edge of the railing that follows the course of the river, highlighting and contrasting its horizontality with the verticality of the sculpture's two height levels. A piece made of a metallic parallelepiped supported and crowned by stone shapes, a phallic symbol, a floral shape and even a synthesized anthropomorphic character. At ground level, as if it were sprouting from the grass, the second component made only in stone, points to a shape similar to a crown but in another temporary and formal state; kind of semi-open bud.
