About the Artist:
Valencia 1922 - 2004
Established Spanish sculptor and graphic artist whose work reflects constructivist tendencies; geometry, architectonic strength and rigor and personal expression.
Between 1958 and 1960, Gabino worked in Germany, where he left figurative work behind him. From 1961 his work developed its now characteristic constructivist aspects; his graphic work incorporated collage and sculptures included burnished, gold and silver colored metals overlayed and cut in concentric circles.
Gabino trained at Valencia´s San Carlos School of Art and in his sculptor father´s workshop. He finished his studies in Rome, Milan, Paris and Hamburg, and in New York with a Ford Foundation grant.
