Number 021 (2020) Malarstwo autorstwa Ignacio Valdez

Ignacio Valdez, was born in 1978 in Buenos Aires, capital.I studied at the Prilydiano Pueyrredón National School of Fine Arts and did work analysis at Luis Felipe Noé's workshop.In the last year of my career (2001) I discovered minimal art: Frank Stella with his black lines on a black background, Sol Lewitt and Dan Graham. The concept of self-referentiality of the work that these artists handled gave me, in some way, the conceptual bases of what I was beginning to produce at that time. That same year I saw an exhibition by Ernesto Ballesteros at Ruth Benzacar (the exhibition of the intersections), all works done in pencil on canvas. That show was a revelation for me: It's okay to work only with pencils and also you can continue painting without using brushes, the construction of a method, of an a priori system, a set of arbitrary rules.Some years before I had read an interview with Mr. Raúl Lozza, where he developed the concept of qualimetry, which I did not understand and I do not understand now, but making a mathematical equation to paint seemed incredible to me. Later I traveled to Brazil for 6 months or so and discovered neo-concretism with Ligia Clark and Helio Oiticica.I went through drawing as an obsession, as a method, as a discipline, as a spiritual path, currently I am trying to understand it as an organic and chaotic language, that is, as a way of speaking.Of the exhibitions I did, I would like to mention one in 2003 in Materia Urbana, an art store located in the San Telmo neighborhood and "like that on the whole page" Zavaleta Lab in 2006.
