Unions & Intersections: Featuring works by Valentin Toledo

Metro Gallery presents Valentin Toledo’s solo exhibition, “Unions & Intersections.” These new works are inspired by mathematical models set out to define groups and subgroups creating a space that is at once hermetic and permeable. Through his choice medium of glass, acrylic, and polyurethane this artist explores the relationships between pure line, color, and volume, the sum of which defines space. The exhibit will be on display from March 29th, 2008 to May 3rd, 2008. Please join us for the opening Saturday, March 29th, 2008, from 6-9pm.

Born and raised in Spain, Toledo spent several years working as an Editorial Art Director. However, in pursuit of a radical change of life, Toledo set out for Los Angeles, California. LA’s eclecticism and absence of preconceptions brought a sense of liberation that led to these authentic and honest works.
“Unions & Intersections” is a show that is designed to influence the viewer in whatever way possible. As Toledo says, “I hope for the best impact, the kind doesn’t matter. I don’t try to teach anyone anything; each individual has enough with their own search. If the painting makes this search easier, that would be great.”
