Forming part of the design of the Jaume Vicens Vives square in Girona, we find a sculptural intervention by the artist Gabriel (Sáenz Romero) made of stainless steel, gray stone, Macael and black granite.
The sculpture, which bears the enigmatic name of AELON, “does not represent or explain anything”, according to the City Council, but “the artist simply plays and investigates with forms and materials”.
In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we show the sculpture from different perspectives, a work that keeps the AELON enigma intact today.
Gabriel (Sáenz Romero) is a sculptor with a long career. He has exhibited in New York, Valencia, Barcelona, ??Perpignan, Santiago de Compostela, Brussels, Athens, among other cities.
In 1990 he put his first work in the street, in the Sculpture Garden of the Miró Foundation. Subsequently, he has placed other works in public spaces in Huelva, Huesca, Girona, Sabadell (in this case, three sculptures in Taulí Park) or in Figueres.
