The Martín Chirino Foundation exhibits the entire corpus of the Canarian sculptor dedicated to music until September 1

The exhibition Martín Chirino: Tribute to Music, continues until September 1 at the Castillo de La Luz in Las Palmas. The sonority of matter, co-curated by David Cortés Santamarta, professor of Aesthetics and Art Theory at the University of La Laguna in Tenerife and music critic; and Jesús M. Castaño, general director of the Martín Chirino Art and Thought Foundation.

The exhibition has received good reviews from the specialized press and a large attendance of public. A corpus of works by various authors and techniques has been gathered, all related to music and its influence on art. These, in addition to including some of the funds from Chirino's legacy, come from the Azcona Collection, from the Government of the Canary Islands, as well as from other public institutions and private collections. Of Martín Chirino it is worth mentioning the eight sculptures that he dedicated to the memory or title some great performers such as Pau Casals or Rostropovich, but also others dedicated to instruments such as the guitar, the violin and the cello, three of the artist's favorite instruments, or that piece he made for the International Prize of the Cante de las Minas Festival in 2010. His commitment to music led him to create a series of medals in different metals, most of them in bronze, his drawings from 2005, or the five preparatory sketches of the Pérez Galdós Theater logo in 2007. On the tour and alongside those sculptures, drawings and medals by Chirino, which span from 1995 to 2019, visitors can contemplate an etching by Picasso; an oil painting by Juan Gris,  the guitar in front of the sea, from the collection of the Reina Sofía Museum; a work by Dalí; a video by Bruce Nauman of IVAM; a set of drawings by Ángel Ferrant; Man Ray's famous photograph, Violon de Ingres; Violin and colt's head by Óscar Domínguez; a bronze by Pablo Serrano; or the Irregular Canary Piano by the Canarian Juan Hidalgo, among other pieces that help define interactions and inspirations of previous artists who inspired or are related to Chirino.
