Spiral

"Spiral" by Martín Chirino López exemplifies his mastery in working with iron within the abstract tradition. As a cofounder of the El Paso group, Chirino’s work reflects influences of abstract expressionism and a focus on dynamic, organic forms. The sculpture’s swirling spiral embodies movement and energy, characteristic of Chirino’s exploration of form and material. His iron structures often evoke a sense of rhythm and complexity, positioning him as a significant figure in contemporary Spanish art and abstract sculpture.
