The speaker of Creative Counterpoints '23 is renowned artist, Vincent Valdez, on the occasion of the publication of In Memory (Radius, Fall’22), the first book-length study of Valdez’s work.
Vincent Valdez blends large, representational paintings—the scale of which recalls Western traditions of history painting and mural painting, and cinema—with contemporary subject matters.
In Memory comprises a selection from Valdez’s body of work, curatorial essays, and poetry inspired by and conversing with Valdez’s work. A portion of the text is in Spanish.
The artist will discuss the scope of his work and the materials and inspiration of In Memory. He will then be in conversation with a panel of MassArt students practicing in various artistic fields.
Creative Counterpoints is sponsored by the Liberal Arts Departments, the President’s Office, Academic Affairs, and The Office of Justice, Equity, and Transformation (JET).
