ABOUT THE ARTIST

Juan García Ripollés（1932年出生），广为人知的名字是 Ripollés，是一位西班牙画家、雕塑家和版画家，以其鲜艳、富有表现力且极具个人风格的艺术而著称。出生于 Castellón，他因色彩丰富的构图、富有想象力的人物与快乐的视觉语言而著名，灵感来自自然、日常生活和地中海文化。除了在国际上广受赞誉的绘画和宏大雕塑作品外，Ripollés 还创作了大量平面作品，包括石版画和丝网印刷，与他的原作同样捕捉到自发性、大胆色彩和玩乐精神。他的艺术作品在欧洲、亚洲和美洲展出，公共雕塑遍布全球多个城市。如今，Ripollés 被认为是最具影响力、收藏广泛的当代西班牙艺术家之一。

After Equipo Crónica dissolved in 1981, Valdés developed an independent career marked by a distinctive style that revisits iconic figures from artists such as Velázquez, Goya, Matisse, and Picasso. Rather than copying, he transforms these historical references through bold textures, simplified forms, and rich materials, including burlap, thick impasto, bronze, and aluminum.

Valdés is especially recognized for his large-scale sculptural heads, often displayed in major cities worldwide, which reinterpret classical portraiture with contemporary sensibility. His work has been exhibited internationally in museums and public spaces across Europe, the United States, and Asia. Through his dialogue with art history, Valdés has established himself as a major figure in contemporary figurative art.
