El Cenachero by Jaime Fernández Pimentel, 1968
Plaza de la Marina
Málaga, March 2024

“This bronze sculpture created by Málaga artist Jaime Fernández Pimentel in 1968 represents a typical and traditional figure of Málaga, the ‘Cenachero’ or Fish Vendor. El Cenachero sold fish on the streets of the city while maintaining the balance of the two esparto baskets he carried. These basket are called ‘cenachos’ in Spanish, hence his name. The cenachos were handmade of esparto and filled at the beaches where the central fishing net was landed. Generally, Cenacheros sold anchovies, but also traded in mackerel, sardines or whitebait. The sculpture shows how a traditional cenachero dressed: with a sash, the hanging cenachos and a hat to protect him from the heat. In honour of the twinning of the cities of Málaga and Mobile, Alabama, Málaga City Council donated a replica of this sculpture to Mobile, which has been erected in a square of this American city.” (El Cenachero, Ayuntamiento de Málaga)

Lord Nelson
Union Street, Southwark
London, May 2023

“Anyone who remembers this place from a decade ago is in for a shock. The former estate pub looks like it's been stormed by a bunch of students and decorated with every kitsch item they could muster. It's not just that the walls are covered in Teletubbies, fairy lights and gurning animals. Even the beer taps are loaded with toys. You'd have to be a sour-faced goat indeed not to smile at the decor, though.” (Lord Nelson, Londonist)

“It is a complex of four statues (originally five) by the Treviso sculptor Romano Costi inaugurated in 1994 on the initiative of the Rotary Club of Florence South which at that time had its headquarters in a prestigious hotel nearby. It was a group of bronze statues that moved on their base, pushed by the wind or by human hands. The title of the work (Encounters) symbolizes the meeting between peoples and cultures of the five continents.” (Paul Harris, Osservatore Libero)
