Art, sculpture and poetry – José de la Calle - by @avdesing
^{Original language: Spanish, English}
Amonet shares a richly descriptive travelogue of an art exhibition titled 'Everything is sculpture, everything is a poem' by José de la Calle at the Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País in Málaga. The post emphasizes the prominence of wooden sculpture, the artist's inventive use of materials (wood, metal, plastic, stone, aluminum, enamels), and the exceptional craftsmanship visible in geometric forms, tools, and eye motifs. The author reflects on the viewer’s interpretation, the absence of titles for works (each piece numbered), the use of a wall QR code that no longer functioned after the exhibition ended, and an anecdote about the gallery manager providing an information leaflet after visitors had left. The piece also notes the philosophical question posed by the show: what constitutes art and the artist’s idea of unity and poetry across works. The author concludes with personal gratitude and a sign-off.
