Folds Soften Stone Sculptures

Delicately peeled skin and supple folds appear where we’d least expect them in José Manuel Castro López’s stone sculptures (previously). From small boulders of granite and quartz found near his home in A Coruña, Spain, the artist carves and polishes delicate wrinkles that suggest fabric or the malleability of smashed, wet clay. For example, “Recorte de Piel,” or “Skin Peeling,” resembles an angular slice of potato skin carefully pulled away.

A few works shown here are part of José Manuel Castro López’s exhibition at Cadogan Solo in Milan, which continues through October 31. See his Instagram for updates.

I like grids. In teaching, they were an excellent learning tool.
