Strangest Top Spinner Sculpture
« on: February 28, 2023, 12:34:05 AM »

We have discussed lots of sculptures/statues related to tops in the past. But this one at a university (BUAP) in Puebla, Mexico, might be the weirdest one. Cuper sent me the link:





The sculpture is called "La pareja del trompo" and the artist is José Bayro.

very strange sculpture indeed

la pareja   :

in my dictionary, it translates
1) un couple   a couple
2) un  cavalier / une cavalière   a rider/horseman
3) un danseur/ une danseuse     a dancer

to me, we have a classic "sculpture équestre" , scholastic in the posture and material
 with the woman riding the man who looks almost like a gorilla...
and this primitive quadripole  plays with a spintop

it could be an allegory for the uprising of women rights : the man head down , looking stupid with a toy , the woman head up ,with a sexy body tits pointing ..////
 or a reference to a specific historical event like "la commune de paris 1848"

 beautiful artwork
