Catalogue Note
“Beyond representation or abstraction, beyond the references to informalism or to the Pop esthetic, what defines and distinguishes Valdés’ work is its compositional structure, its syntax in creating images, in its confrontation between color and material, between form and construction, between line and texture, between melancholy lyric and arte povera atmosphere.”
