It is the final major exhibition project of the year at the Cidade da Cultura. A show that delves, from a contemporary perspective, into the complex aesthetic world of the artist who managed to synthesise the new European sculptural movements with Galician roots.

The exhibition explores, through a contemporary lens, the intricate creative universe of the artist from Cambados —a key figure in the history of Galician art and one of the leading renovators of 20th-century Spanish sculpture.

Curated by Miguel Fernández-Cid and coordinated by Carmen Asorey, the artist’s granddaughter and a central figure in the recognition of his work and life, the exhibition brings together a selection of his most significant pieces. From his early works, where we can appreciate his first aesthetic choices, to the wooden sculptures in which he developed an iconography rooted in popular tradition and a distinctive treatment of polychromy, as well as his monumental works found throughout Galicia.
The exhibition includes sculptures, plaster models, drawings, audiovisuals, period documents, and working tools, along with ceramics that helped popularise some of his most emblematic creations —offering the most complete possible overview of Asorey’s artistic and historical significance.
