The capital of Guipuzcoa, San Sebastian, doesn''t forget Gonzalo Chillida. Just over one year since his death, his works continue to remain close to the Basques'' hearts. The Ekain Art Gallery, in the old part of the city, opens an exhibition on Tuesday with works on paper completed by Gonzalo, brother of sculptor Eduardo Chillida.

After returning to the Basque Country, he lived and worked in the Guipuzcoan capital, painting and exhibiting scenic works.

From Tuesday 18th August until Wednesday 30th September, the Ekain gallery will play host to the exhibition "Gonzalo Chillida: works on paper", which will open at 7.30pm on the first day.
