Etxe 2012

"Etxe" (2012) is a striking, minimalist sculpture by Basque artist Patxi Xabier Lezama Perier. The tall, slender form of the piece, crafted from a dark, metallic material, evokes a sense of verticality and aspiration. The geometric, pyramid-like structure is punctuated by strategically placed rectangular cutouts, creating an intriguing play of light and shadow. This interplay between solid and void further underscores the artist's exploration of form and space. The work's title, "Etxe," translates to "house" in Basque, suggesting a connection to domesticity and the concept of shelter, while also leaving room for more abstract interpretations.
