Manolo Valdés
Manolo Valdés is a Spanish painter and sculptor who co-founded the influential Spanish pop art movement Equipo Cronica in 1964 with Rafael Solbes and Juan Antonio Toledo during the Franco dictatorship. Manolo Valdés uses art as a channel of expression. With humour and irony he depicts the political and social obligations of the state.
His large-scale paintings, sculptures and combined works are an open dialogue with reference to the masters of art history.
