Heights Arts presents Rafael Valdivieso Troya in spotlight gallery
Exhibition of works by Cleveland Heights artist opens January 29
An exhibition of recent works by Rafael Valdivieso Troya, ranging from small drawings to a very large muralistic painting, is showcased in Heights Arts’ spotlight gallery, opening with a public reception on Friday, January 29 from 6-9 p.m.
Born in Ecuador and now a Cleveland Heights resident, Rafael Valdivieso creates intricate compositions using pen and ink, wash, acrylic, and collage techniques. A single work might contain hundreds of figures or faces layered into imaginary spaces that evoke a sense of teeming wildness and intertwine themes of human joy and struggle. The spotlight exhibition will be on view through March 12.
