This exhibition at the Museo Tiflológico featured 16 wooden sculptures by artist José Luis Fernández, known for creating the Goya Awards statuette. Visitors had the opportunity to experience his tactile works, including a display of the iconic Goya Award.
The Museo Tiflológico presented an exhibition dedicated to the work of sculptor José Luis Fernández, an artist renowned for crafting the statuette for the Goya film awards. The show displayed 16 of his wooden sculptures, offering visitors, particularly those who are blind, an opportunity to engage with his tactile art. Fernández expressed his honor in having his work exhibited and highlighted the chance for blind visitors to experience the Goya Award statuette, which he brought for them to touch and understand. The artist, José Luis Fernández (born 1943), learned wood carving from his uncles Carlos and Luis Fernández. He later moved to Madrid and trained with prominent masters, including Juan de Ávalos and Enrique Pérez Comendador. His artistic development spanned periods of tension between figuration and abstraction, and he co-founded the influential sculpture foundry Esfinge. Throughout his career, Fernández's work evolved, incorporating themes of spirals, balance, and mortality, leading to his creation of the Goya Awards statuette, which he has continued to produce.
The exhibition was on view from January 24 to March 9, 2013. Further visitor information and ticketing details are not specified on this page for this past exhibition.
