This short text is part of a review by Victor de Segrelles published in the Levante newspaper (“postscript”) on December 7, 2019.
"Located in a place in the central street of Vilaragut, Valencia, very close to jewels of our heritage in the Valencian Community such as the Marqués de Dos Aguas Palace or the Abadía de San Martín, in one of the most beautiful enclaves of Valencia. The exhibition hall is divided into two spaces. The Main Hall, on the ground floor, where the most conventional exhibition program takes place. And the Refuge Space in the basement of this old bourgeois house, a refuge built during the civil war in which the gallery hosts site specific projects and exhibitions and other content.
Among the exhibits you place in the Main Hall since its opening in 2015 include those dedicated to important Valencian artists, renowned as bringing together a selection of sculptures (in bronze, steel or terracotta), multiple, photographs, drawings and watercolors of the always great Valencian artist Miquel Navarro, complemented by one of its features facilities cities deployed in Space Refugio or exhibitions Rosa Torres, Rafa Calduch, Antoni Girbés, Francisco Sebastian Nicolau, Javier Chapa and Horacio Silva (currently presents in the gallery individual second "Intro-versions" with the collaboration of Fernando Castro Flórez critic). Also exposed other Valencian artists, or linked to our picture of later generations as Jose Saborit, painter and poet, Guerrero Tonda, Ana Vernia, Nuria Rodriguez, Toño Barreiro, Juan Fabuel, Carolina Valls and Juan Olivares.
Very remarkable was the exhibition-dialogue between two artists Double or Nothing, which Kookie Guillen and Mavi Escamilla, two Valencian artists recently presented his works and a series of papers made great "four hands".
Or Reflections exhibition, comisarada by the Valencian artist Sheila Toledo in which, with the link in the research and use of glass in their works works by international artists from different countries (Jens Gussek, Anna Herrgott, Masami Hirohata met, Sheila Toledo, Jens maggee, Christian Schultz, Susanne Kunkel and Verena Sachtz).
And through collective which has incorporated younger creators Valencians as Alicia Torres or Samuel Nieto.
For the small space Refugio small projects have passed Christine Bauer & Herbert Egger, two artists with international experience, Nieves Torralba, Josep Ginestar, Ricardo Esvavy, and other proposals more experimental. "
