Alma de cántaro: Alberto Peral Sculpture Exhibition at CarrerasMugica Gallery

This exhibition presents the latest works by Alberto Peral, featuring a series of sculptures crafted from materials such as brass, stainless steel, painted stone, and wood. Drawing inspiration from the concept of emptiness and the physical presence of objects, the show explores the sculptural logic of containers and hollow forms.

In 'Alma de cántaro,' Alberto Peral explores the profound intersection between physical form and the evocative nature of emptiness. The title, an expression appearing in 'Don Quixote' that hints at the hollow sound of an empty pitcher and the lack of spirit, serves as a conceptual framework for the artist's new sculptural series. By shaping materials like marble, stainless steel, and iron, Peral mirrors the work of a potter who transforms clay into a vessel, giving tangible form to void and space. The exhibition is deeply personal, inspired by the artist's reflections on traditional Japanese ceramics that held ancestral remains, where physical presence replaced visual representation. The works, which include wall-embedded sculptures and pieces suspended from the gallery's concrete ceiling, are designed to trigger memories and a heightened physical awareness in the viewer. Through these minimalist objects, Peral invites a meditation on the invisible and the tangible, emphasizing that objects can possess a power capable of activating deep psychological and sensory responses.

The gallery provides information on the exhibition through downloadable dossiers and room sheets in multiple languages on their official website.
