"Places of Love and Oblivion" brings together a selection of sculptures created by Antonio Yesa between 2014 and 2026. The exhibition proposes a journey through more than a decade of sculptural work in which the artist reflects on space as a site of experience, memory, and emotion.

The title of the show places the work in an intermediate territory between the physical and the mental. The “places” to which Yesa alludes are not merely constructed spaces or recognizable landscapes, but realms charged with affection, transit, and traces: spaces that are inhabited, traversed, or abandoned; spaces where love and oblivion coexist. Sculpture thus becomes a way of thinking about a place and making it felt.

Throughout the exhibition, the works oscillate between architectural references and organic evocations. Geometric and constructive structures coexist with forms that suggest growth, expansion, or transformation. This coexistence responds to a constant strategy in Yesa’s work: creating a dialogue between the realm of culture—architecture, technique, thought—and that of nature and its vital processes, without establishing hierarchies or oppositions.

The use of metal is fundamental to this dialogue. Iron, wire, metal rods, and, especially, stainless steel allow the artist to work with light, reflection, and shadow as active elements of the piece. Polished surfaces and aerial lines expand the sculpture into the space, generating tensions, rhythms, and a sense of suspension that invites the viewer to move around the pieces and experience them from different vantage points.

Antonio Yesa’s sculptures do not impose themselves upon the space: they activate it. They function as crossing points, as thresholds between form and emotion, between presence and absence. "Places of Love and Oblivion" invites a slow contemplation, where each work proposes an open and personal experience, confirming sculpture as a habitable territory for both the gaze and the mind.
