Following a year in the public eye for Jaume Plensa, the artist’s current show at Galerie Lelong in Paris is comprised of steel and rock creations as well as accompanying drawings.

The mid-sized works and drawings are approachable, “silent observers of the hustle and bustle,” according to the press release.
