Measurements: 69 x 52 cm.

White cotton t-shirt with a silkscreen design on the front. The composition presents two black organic forms, of sinuous contour and vibrant outline, characteristic of Valdés' plastic language in the eighties. These figures float on a dynamic background of diagonal lines in primary and secondary colors (red, blue, green and yellow), generating a visual rhythm that combines gesturality and formal synthesis. The work transfers to the textile support the artist's interest in the reinterpretation of the pictorial tradition and the play between figuration and abstraction, within an aesthetic linked to the postmodern spirit of the Equipo Crónica group, of which he was co-founder.
