Side Effects

It is not clear of what process, substance, action these effects are. It is clear, yes, that they are daydreams, fantasies, distortions of reality. Once again the artist plunges into a dreamlike environment, where it is possible to find meanings, more or less accessible metaphors ... but which are amalgamated in the torrent of the surreal or the absurd. These are the "Side Effects" presented by Frank David Valdés. The color palette accentuates this intention. They are determined, "alive" tones. Impossible for them to go unnoticed. And it also contributes an unprejudiced, playful figuration, which flirts with the rugged without losing a certain aesthetic pulse. In the manner of certain children's story books. Although thinking of much less innocent "readings". Frank David Valdés is always interested in history and its "staging." Their visual frameworks are not sparing. Details are not lacking. And the details are sometimes the key.
