In 1957, he finished his studies and entered into the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos. The excessive academic training that was provided would not satisfy him, as only two years later he would leave this institute to devote himself entirely to painting.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He executed his first works shortly after leaving school (a formal debt to the dying art style of abstract expressionism). The young Valdes displayed a creative capacity and a formal technical ability out of the ordinary. In 1962, he exhibited a set of works in this style at the Galer\u00eda Nebl\u00ed (Madrid) believed his first individual exhibition.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, at the beginning of the sixties, Vald\u00e9s and the artists Gorris, Juan Antonio Toledo and Rafael Solbes amongst others, together with the Art Historian Tom\u00e1s Llorens, formed the group \u2018Estampa Popular de Valencia\u2019.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At a time when the country opened to the market economy \u2013 albeit in a timid way \u2013 the group called for the role of the artist and its framework to be redefined in context with the country\u2019s transformation. For them, the language of the new artistic expression echoed the rising socio-economic situation.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Equipo Cr\u00f3nica<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1964 Manolo Vald\u00e9s, Rafael Solbes and Juan Antonio Toledo broke away from Estampa Popular and formed the group Equipo Cr\u00f3nica. A year later Toledo abandoned this project but the group continued with Solbes and Valdes, until Solbes\u2019 death in 1981.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Equipo Cr\u00f3nica, influenced by the discussions at the heart of Estampa Popular, emerged as critics of individualism and the romantic image of the artist\u2019s genius. They deliberately reduced the artist\u2019s celebrity by using the relative anonymity of the group\u2019s name.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following the first exhibition, there was critical scepticism regarding this collective way of working (it was implied that Solbes was the theorist and Valdes the painter). The truth was that from the beginning of their journey, both men thought and painted alike.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Valeriano Bozal, expert of Equipo Cr\u00f3nica and Manolo Vald\u00e9s, corroborated this: \u201c\u2026Their work was collective in all features, both participated in the debate and in producing work on an equal footing, and that was precisely the main reason why his language acquired unique fortune\u2026 \u201c.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the start, and in a similar way to the English and American \u2018pop art\u2019 movement, Equipo Cr\u00f3nica examined popular culture. For both artists, a film, comic or pictorial images had the same value as a graphic reproduction of a painting by Vel\u00e1zquez, Van Gogh or Picasso.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is not the definite conception of the visual image, it is the final application and combined juxtaposition that produces a significant distinct style and meaning to those they had originally only decontextualized.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This compositional pairing was the strategy through which the Equipo Cr\u00f3nica presented their ironic look on the era. However, this \u2018critical realism\u2019 which defined their work would not be the only field of interest for scholars \u2013 they were reviewed and their own pictorial practice ruling interpreted in exhibited series such as Autopsia de un Oficio (1969-1970), La Subversi\u00f3n de los Signos (1974), El Billar (1977) and Cr\u00f3nica de la Transici\u00f3n (1981-1982).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce528fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"ce528fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"7201\" class=\"elementor elementor-7201 elementor-4202\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0db13f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a0db13f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e72cad elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4e72cad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/guerrerogaleria.es\/en\/contacto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/guerrerogaleria.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/request.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6684\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona, 1955 Vald\u00e9s Blasco is a spanish sculptor and painter who studied secondary education at the Dominican college in his hometown (Valencia).
