Blur Queer Lines

  • 16 June - 3 July, 2022

Blur Queer Lines, as the joint exhibition is titled, not only showcases the creative work of local talent, but provokes a conversation about what defines queer art, how queer culture is, could be and needs to be reflected through art, and to question how Pride is shown through public and private lives.

The Story of Adolfo Montalvo

Adolfo is a classically educated artist, academic and influenced by the Spanish Masters of the Siglo de Oro (Golden Age), mixed with the wildest street art of Berlin, London, New York and the simplicity of Zen painting. He studied architecture in Madrid where he was born. He has also studied and worked in the UK, the Netherlands, Italy and the USA. Miami is where, for mysterious reasons, his creativity exploded. It took him 44 years to escape from the control of volumes, of light measuring and geometry, before he could release his energy on powerful portraits made up of hard brush strokes, spilled ink and furious collage.

His portraits are a representation of masculinity, confidence, awareness of life and recklessness.

Making his gallery debut in Barcelona, Adolfo joins Kevin Booth in opening the Barcelona Queer Art Fest at Mahi Toi with Blur Queer Lines, parallel exhibitions that not only showcase the creative work of local talent, but provoke a conversation about what defines queer art, how queer culture is, could be and needs to be reflected through art, and to question how Pride is shown through public and private lives.
