This work by Kieff Antonio Grediaga manages to materialize abstraction through tense volumes, precise balances and a constant investigation of the dialogue between mass, emptiness and movement.
Kieff Antonio Grediaga began his artistic training in cabinetmaking, working with his father in the restoration of religious furniture.
His first exhibition was held in 1968 at the Moos Gallery Montreal, where all the pieces were acquired, a fact that consolidated his international projection. Since then he has presented his work in galleries and fairs in Canada, the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Israel and various European regions. Among his recent exhibitions is El Canto del Hierro (Cádiz, 2022), dedicated to Manuel de Falla's "Siete canciones populares españolas" (Seven Popular Spanish Songs). In the urban environment, his monumental sculpture The Turning Point (iron and aluminum) was exhibited in Columbus Circle, New York, as part of an international fair in 1980.
Kieff's work is part of institutional collections such as the National Museum of Fine Arts (Havana, Cuba), the Emilio Bacardi Moreau Museum (Santiago de Cuba) and the Museum of the City (Madrid, Spain). His production ranges from small-format bronzes to monumental structures in iron, wood or marble. Currently, the Kieff Antonio Grediaga Foundation, with headquarters/museum under construction in Tendilla (Guadalajara), is oriented to the preservation of his legacy, the dissemination of his work and the training of new generations of creators.
