exhibition · 2026-06-26

The exhibition 'Geometric Bodies' has launched at Chillida Leku, showcasing the role of geometric forms in Eduardo Chillida's artistic journey. It encompasses his figurative plaster sculptures from the late 1940s and extends to his later architectural projects that exhibit a more cohesive formal expression and public significance. Key shapes such as the sphere and cube create unique layers of interpretation. Additionally, this exhibition marks the introduction of a novel format at Chillida Leku, where selected artists are each represented by one piece that is woven into the overall experience.
