Street Sculpture Route I: 13. Spatial Stela

Santa Cruz de Tenerife · Category: Route · Subcategory: Street sculpture I · Year: 1973 · Authors: Amadeo Gabino

This sculpture, created by the Valencian artist Amadeo Gabino (1922-2004) in 1973 for the I International Street Sculpture Exhibition, is also known as "Estela de Venus III".

It is configured by means of a tower of superimposed plates joined by rivets in the manner of airplane fuselages. The reflective quality produced by these metallic surfaces incorporates the environment into the work, thus creating an environmental communication established with the surrounding nature, turning the tower into a kind of deforming mirror where clouds, trees and imagined beings are reflected.
