An exhibition devoted to the solo career of Manolo Valdés (Valencia, 1942), an internationally renowned Spanish artist who has played a major role in the
art of the last thirty years of the twentieth century.
Striking out on his own in 1981, Valdés recreated and recontextualized some of Western art's most
representative icons, continuing the work done by the art team known as Equipo Crónica, which he was a member of for nearly 20 years. Valdés creates
his own private language through the production of series used to play variations on a central theme. He also enriches and extends his interests through the
use of unusual materials in his search for texture.
