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!

This piece is born with a provocative intention, already used in many occasions. It has concave contours and it seems to be a malleable piece that rests on grass.
The form curves on itself like a bagel, generating a cavity that turns in a strange scatological basin that sometimes it is used like an occasional garbage collector.
The public who interprets this work that represents just an enormous excrement, reacts habitually in a contradictory way, but, undoubtedly, metaphor invites spectator to reflect on certain filthinesses and social miseries.

(Translated text, from the original by Alicia Fernández Dapena)
