Philip Aguirre y Otegui

Over the past five decades, Philip Aguirre y Otegui (b. 1961, Belgium) has built an impressive oeuvre, which is brought together in its entirety for the first time in this book. The artist not only sculpts and draws, but also creates installations and collages. More than an overview of his work, this publication is a tribute to sculpture itself and to the universal power of beauty. In his work, Aguirre y Otegui reveals himself to be a witness to his times: he has an eye for the major themes that trouble the world today, but equally for the graceful resilience of the human spirit that endures amidst them. His sculptures are at once vulnerable and powerful, monumental and human. This richly illustrated book offers an in-depth look at a body of work that redefines sculpture as a space for reflection, wonder and connection.
